This may be "old news" to some of you, but I don't always keep up with such books.
In Hagerstown, MD there is a big store (Ollie's) that deals in overstocks, closeouts and such. They always have a lot of books of all sorts so sometimes I just check them out. This time I found and bought two books both dealing with muscle cars. One, "Muscle & Chrome, Classic America Cars", published in 2018, lists cars from a 1948 Ford up to 1971 Plymouth GTX. The first Studebaker is a 1948 Commander convertible, two pages with nice pictures and what appears to be accurate information. Next was a very stock 1953 Commander Starliner with two pages, good pictures and what appeared to be good data. The last Studebaker is a 1963 R-2, four speed red Avanti, again with nice pictures and fairly accurate data. The book also featured a 1953 Packard Caribbean convertible. The book even included a Tucker. A 166-horsepower engine was pretty good for 1948.
The other book, "Muscle Cars, A Legacy of American Performance", published in 2017, featured a 1963 R-2 GT Hawk, four pages with very nice pictures (except for non-stock wheels). The second Studebaker, also featured, is Nelson Bove's one and only factory R-3 non-Avanti, a 1964 Studebaker Commander. Also four pages with nice pictures and decent explanation.

Agreed on Ollie's. Sometimes incredible book bargains.
