The Americans beautiful machines : the most iconic U.S. cars and their era. by Rong, Blake Z.,author.; Klanten, Robert,editor.(CARDINAL)291456;
Includes index.The automobile has been the backbone of American society over the last 100 years. The likes of Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors defined a new era for the USA, from transcontinental travel and suburban transportation to the great American road trip. But these cars were never just practical machines; they were part of the great American experiment and their citizens' pursuit of happiness. They represented a way of life, an expression of personality, and a means of making a living. Each era of American car culture spawned models that were perfect statements of their time. The Art-Deco-inspired airstream designs of the 1920s and '30s preceded the postwar optimism of road cruisers, while muscle cars of the 1960s characterized U.S. power on the world stage. The Americans--Beautiful Machines celebrates the likes of the Mustang, Gran Torino, Corvette, and many other classic models that put American cars firmly into the zeitgeist. From Model T all the way to the electric age of Tesla, automobiles have remained icons of American culture.--Back Cover.

Throughout author Tad Burness adds handwritten details not found anywhere else, including pointing out unusual options and differences found within a model.
