The Road & Track Illustrated Auto Dictionary

"You've got a bent tie rod. It'll cost you forty-five dollars to fix it."

How often have we heard the diagnosis and the cost of the treatment and not had any idea of what was actually wrong with our car? Finally, help is on the way in the form of this inexpensive, illustrated auto dictionary. Prepared by the editors of Road and Track, this handy book will serve both the "I can drive but don't know a thing about cars" type and the knowledgeable auto enthusiast. It offers brief explanations of all important automotive terms, using clear illustrations whenever necessary. It will be an invaluable aid in the purchase of a new car and a continuing help in maintenance of the present one. The next time someone says, "This car has independent suspension," or, "You have vapor lock," turn to this book to find out what he really means.
