Book Description
Automobiles are an essential part of life for many, but few really understand how that car arrives in their garage in the first place. This book takes an exciting look at just how interesting that process is, from the design phase in an engineers office to the floor of a factory where it is assembled piece by piece by both people and machines. Full-color photographs bring the process to life in vivid detail, and a step-by-step how-to guide explains how readers can even build their very own model car.

Book Description
Over 400 photographs capture the excitement and elegance of automotive history and include many famous American models. The illustrations and words combine to re-create the adventures of designing and driving the legendary cars that evolved into today's indispensable, stylish, and efficient automobile. The book begins by describing how automobiles evolved from little more than "cookie tins" propelled by sputtering internal combustion engines to smoother-riding, rounded forms. It then concentrates on the most important models produced in terms of social, aesthetic, and technological advances, covering developments in aerodynamics, speed, and horsepower, setbacks like the gasoline crisis of the 1970s, and the emergence of the modern car company. The book concludes with a peek into the future to see what types of vehicles we'll soon be driving. From dream cars to road cars, this book brings together pictures and descriptions of the most stirring blends of technology, art, beauty, and adventure.
