Sketching Collection

Does anyone know of a book with nice little sketches of cars?
Trying to get hold of one for my dad's birthday, got a feeling I've come across one before, but can't remember the title. Doesn't matter if its out of print. Just a collection of "car sketches."
Thanks.
Can you be a little more specific? Do you really want "cars in art" or how to draw cars or a book with photos of different cars with little descriptions? And what sort of cars? Classic cars, muscle cars, foreign cars-?

There are books that cover different years as well, I just selected this as an example. I've used this series a lot when I needed to see what, for example, a 1981 Oldsmobile look like.
