Already have it! I've used the book to post information here on certain
"obscure" cars before.

You're absolutely correct, Sir! Unfortunately, I haven't seen anywhere
you can get it. I forgot where I bought mine now. I'm sure it was not
long after I came to the U.S. in 1980.

Yes, its 20 years old now. I'm sure the authors have updated it (somewhere
in the book they ask readers for any further information). I'd love to get
the latest. Many times I wished I could have looked up a model that came
between 1974 and 1980.
Cheers!
