Only one or two illustrations have been provided by each of these carmakers, but their contributions to the modern automobile have been monumental. It is with particular pleasure that we express our appreciation to Datsun, Honda, Mazda, and Toyota-four auto manufacturers based in Japan who have in recent years brought new excitement to racing and to highway motoring in America. Our appreciation is likewise extended to Fiat, both for making available the basic art for our dust jacket, and for bringing high-performance overhead camshaft engines within reach of the average motorist. Both of these representatives of European manufacturers maintain very active racing programs in the U.S.A. Our thanks are also extended to Volkswagen of America, Inc., and British Leyland Motors, Inc., with whom it has been the present author's privilege to work in the preparation of official service manuals. The vast support given to racing by these American companies is well known to all. Special thanks are also due the Champion Spark Plug Company of Toledo, Ohio, whose excellent Service Corner publication has been the source for several of our illustrations.
