Underhood Black is the correct shade of black, having just the right 10-20% semigloss finish most car manufacturers used on radiator supports, inner fender walls, lug wrenches, jack bases, underhood brackets, and other parts. Hardware store black paints are either too thick, too glossy, or the wrong color. Just clean, degrease, and prepare the parts well, then spray on for a "factory-like" finish. This acrylic lacquer withstands up to 250 degrees F and goes on thin for a satin smooth finish which does not hide surface details. One aerosol covers 6 square feet.

Among today's collectors of classic toys, slot cars rank right up there with toy trains in popularity. During the slot car industry's heyday in the 1960s and 1970s, nearly every town had a commercial track where enthusiasts pitted their vehicles against one another in scale-sized showdowns. With the help of dozens of great color photographs, this nostalgic history looks back at vehicles, tracks, packaging and racing memorabilia from such popular slot-car manufacturers as Aurora/AFX, Tyco, Scalectrix, Strombecker and Cox, as well as dozens of smaller toymakers. With forewords by real-life racing greats Jim Hall and Dan Gurney.

What are the not-so-cool cars, the cars you shouldn't opt to buy--and those you shouldn't even be seen in or alongside? No, not the Skoda or station wagon, which have a heroic anti-car coolness of their own, but the Golf or Astra or professional footballer's Ferrari. This is a book that celebrates Jarvis Cocker's decision to drive a station wagon and Roger Moore a Renault 5. It questions what happens to the status of your car after you have seen Bernard Manning or Jade Goodie posing next to a model of it in the newspaper. Additionally, there is a Showroom Questionnaire for car manufacturers to ask their customers before they sell them a car that might become irrevocably uncool as a result.

From technologically stunning machines to the plain weird and wonderful, this illustrated book reveals 500 of the most striking and innovative prototype cars produced by car manufacturers and independent designers. Here is a pictorial insight into how the motor industry strives to predict, and indeed shape, the future, while reflecting contemporary moods and fashions. Concept cars covered in the book span nearly 100 years of automotive history from the 1914 Alfa Romeo 40-60HP aerodynamic concept by Castagna to the stunning modern-day designs that appeared at the 2002 Geneva Salon and Detroit Motor Show. The book includes: brief descriptions and specifications and a photograph for each of the 500 beautiful and bizarre concepts; a panoramic vision of many of the prototypes developed during the first half of the 20th century up to 1952; a selection of eight significant models a year, from 1952, chosen at random; and an in-depth look at a particular project that captured the mood of the day, for every other year from 1952 to 2002.
