Many books provide a basic catalog of American automobiles from ca. 1900 to 2000. This volume takes a very different approach： in addition to detailing engineering and styling advances， it also presents the broad social and economic environment and demonstrates how and why the automobile has evolved and thrived so strongly throughout the United States. Cars may be a universal product， but that's not to say that they are the same everywhere. Viewed from afar， American cars (and trucks) look too big， have engines that are too large， and are extravagant for solo commuting. Considering the American continent's vast extent， its wide， open roads， readily available parking and low energy prices， it is understandable why American automobiles differ in design， engineering， and size from those found elsewhere in the world. Beginning with the automobile's early days and Henry Ford's invention of the assembly line and continuing until modern times， this intriguing， richly illustrated volume traces the entire history of American automobiles. Whether luxury-market or average-family models， the American car is a dream possession and cult object famous and desired throughout the world.，Commemorating America's ongoing interest with the automobile， offers nearly four hundred photographs， showcasing cars from every era， from the Model A Ford and the Packards of the 1930s， to Mustangs and Corvettes， to the present day.，Prince sang about the iconic “Little Red Corvette” and the Beach Boys paid tribute to the “Little Deuce Coupe.” The controversial horseless carriage became a sign of affluence in its earliest days， and the car continues to be an image-maker to this day. Since the first models rolled off the assembly line， the American automobile has been a status symbol and symbol of the enduring strength of this country. Stunning color photographs and a lively narrative by one of today’s foremost automotive writers tell the story of America’s ongoing love affair with cars. Featuring classic cars， sports cars， and luxury automobiles， this handsome book brings together pictures and descriptions of the most impressive blends of technology， art， beauty， and adventure. From the groundbreaking Model A Ford to the state-of-the-art models of today， cars from every era are showcased in hundreds of glorious full-color photographs that demonstrate the designs that made these cars true icons. Readers experience the excitement generated by the elegant cars of Packard’s golden era in the 1930s， and admire the outrageous fins， gleaming chrome， and dazzling two-toned paint jobs of the cars of the 50s. Ford Mustangs and Corvettes also make an appearance， as do such undeniably American classics as Pontiacs， Chryslers， Cadillacs， and many more.，Commemorating America's ongoing love affair with the automobile， a lively history， complemented by nearly four hundred full-color photographs， showcases great cars from every era， from the Model A Ford and the elegant Packards of the 1930s， to the legendary Mustangs and Corvettes， to the high-tech models of the present day. 12，500 first printing.
