"Matt Stone, the executive editor of Motor Trend and Motor Trend Classic, and John Matras, an automotive journalist, have put together an exhaustive list of cars that an enthusiast should experience firsthand, or at least vicariously ... The selections are far-ranging and nicely illustrated, often with color photos, everything from the 1955 Chrysler C-300 and the 1962-63 Thunderbird M Sports Roadster to the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray and the 1954 Porsche 550 Spyder ... In all, 365 Cars You Must Drive is fun to read, a tasty automotive snack delivered in bite-size daily servings."
Musclecar Enthusiast, December 2006
“The pithy comments which accompany each profile make the book well worth its modest $20 cover price.”
New Zealand Driver, Fall 2006
“God this is a great book. In fact, it’s a Great Book, so GREAT that I wish I had had the idea first … It’s a book that is written concisely, with a great deal of wry humor and wisdom ... If you love cars you’ve got to have a copy of this and I guarantee that you will leave it lying around to come back to time after time after time … One of the best car books that’s ever come my way!
Classic & Sports Car (UK), December 2006
“A good mix of images accompany text that crams in the information without being heavy: we particularly liked accompanying panels listing the ideal soundtrack, perfect passenger and the best place to drive each car.”
Shropshire Star (UK), Oct. 20, 2006
“Car nuts will love it.”
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Nov. 23, 2006
“Whether you agree with the selection of cars or not … you’ll enjoy the brief thumbnail sketches and beautiful photography and reproduction of advertisements that run all through this book … A lot of it is tongue in cheek, of course, but always great fun. It’s a blast to simply imagine yourself behind the wheel of some of these obscure, and not so obscure, cars and trucks.”
Detroit News, Oct. 28, 2008
“Time well spent.”
Victory Lane, November 2006
