Description

The 1950s in the United States represent the zenith of extravagant automobile design.

Flamboyant, powerful but above all glamorous, the automobiles of that expansive decade stand in a gleaming, chrome-adorned class of their own.

Today, they still have their devoted fans, owners and even collectors. This book looks in detail at over thirty of these cars. Each model is fully described and illustrated with specially commissioned photographs, in full colour.

The author not only describes the cars themselves, but also treats them as a mirror of the times, looking at the way they were influenced by, and influenced, other events and trends.

Hardback in near new condition.
