This is the standard reference on the subject, but out of print.



Published in 2002, ISBN 3-613-02211-7.

It has almost 400 pages and shows cars from more than 100 manufacturers.

If you can't see the radiator identification is almost impossible, but even if the radiator is visible in a picture you might id the maker but to find a precise match of model is great luck.

At that time manufacturers usually built the frame and the body might come from elsewhere so there is a great variety of details.

Dimensions are very basic, wheelbase and track, so for a model find a photo taken from the side, use the wheelbase for scale and guess everything else until it looks right.

A drawing of an Austrian car can be found here:
