Description

This one-of-a-kind, massive illustrated history of more than 10,000 American automobiles is perfect for the millions of classic car enthusiasts.

With more than 1,300 pages and 12,500 illustrations covering 70 years, this can be the most complete visual history of the American automobile ever published. Nowhere else are there such a lot of collector, luxury, sporting and on a daily basis cars assembled with fascinating information about original prices, engine sizes, horsepower, and other specifications. The pages are packed with genuine, factory-fresh photographs and drawings taken from latest advertisements, catalogs, and brochures.

More than 250 manufacturers and hundreds of individual models trace the evolution of the American automobile, from the millions of Model Ts that rolled off Ford’s assembly line through the art deco streamliners of the ’30s, to the tail-finned land yachts of the ’50s and muscle cars of the ’60s and ’70s up to the early SUVs of the ’90s. All the way through writer Tad Burness adds handwritten details not found anywhere else, including pointing out bizarre options and differences found within a model. Automotive journalist Matt Stone provides a new general introduction and one to each era within the book.
