Description
Celebrate the exuberance and eccentricity of America in the twentieth century with Classic American Cars. You'll find every dream machine here, from the 1949 Cadillac Sedanette to the 1969 Corvette, from the 1955 Thunderbird to the 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. This book is truly a car show full of the greats in automobile history. Cars that Changed the World: From the postwar years into the 1970s, American cars embodied the country's spirit of optimism and modernity. Their styling was opulent; the cars were "land yachts" with powerful engines, steered by drivers blissfully untroubled by worries about oil crises, fuel consumption, and air pollution. A Gallery of Dreams: Superb full-color photographs, taken especially for this book, offer comprehensive portraits of 60 unparalleled masterpieces. Fascinating technical, design, and historical detail makes this an entertaining and indispensable reference book. Whether you drive your own dream machine or something a little more down-to-earth, Classic American Cars is truly the book to fuel your fantasies.
