The Crittenden Automotive Library

Welcome to
CarsAndRacingStuff.com

This site has three main sections, a Lounge to discuss cars and racing and ask questions not answered in the Library, a Topsites (link exchange) and The Crittenden Automotive Library (see below).

Founded in 2005, CarsAndRacingStuff.com is dedicated to the free exchange and preservation of automotive information, with a special focus on automotive history.  More information about the site's purpose and history can be found on the About Us page.

November's photo of the month (the background picture in the upper left corner) is The speedometer from a 1981 AMC Concord.  The Concord was sold from 1978-1983 and was the basis for the 4-wheel drive AMC Eagle.  After AMC's acquisition by Chrysler, a similar name would appear on the 1993-2004 Chrysler Concorde.


The Crittenden Automotive Library is dedicated to compiling, archiving, presenting, disseminating and discussing information and media relating to automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, motorsports and related hobbies.
