Includes bibliographical references.Foreword / Glenn D. Lowry -- Introduction -- The mania begins -- Mass production for a mass market -- Driving forward: pioneers of modernism -- The look of things -- Cars in popular culture and pop art -- Carmageddon.Drawing on the wealth of automobile-related design, art and architecture in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, Automania takes an in-depth look at an industrial object that changed the world. From its first appearance as a plaything for the rich in the 1890s to its establishment as a utilitarian necessity of modern life, the car has transformed the ways in which we live, work and enjoy ourselves, inspiring countless designers and artists working in various mediums.0Some have viewed the automobile as the ultimate expression of technological progress, capable of bringing about widespread economic growth and positive societal change. Others have seen it as the enemy of humanistic values, leading only to rising fatalities and the proliferation of hazardous waste and pollution. But all have recognized it as central to contemporary life, design and culture.0Automania traces the rich cultural history of the car while giving pride of place to the ten vehicles in MoMA?s collection, which mark pivotal moments in the history of automotive design. These include the Jeep M-38A1 Utility Truck, the Citroën DS 23 Sedan, the Volkswagen Type 1 Sedan, the Fiat 500f City Car, the Cisitalia 202 GT Car, the Ferrari Formula 1 Racing Car 641/2, the Porsche 911 Coupé, the Airstream Bambi Travel Trailer, the Jaguar E-Type Roadster and the Smart Car Coupé.00Exhibition: Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA (04.07.2021-02.01.2022).

- 806 : the lucky sperm club / by Weil, Cynthia,author.(CARDINAL)394767;
Sibling 1 throws blenders and plays guitar. Sibling 2 is allergic to everything and is into magic. Sibling 3 is a varsity swimmer with a group of female fans. Enough said. The only thing they have in common is their biological father, and the only thing they can agree on is that they all want to meet him. With the help of a broken-down, 'borrowed' Jeep, KT, Jesse, and Gabe make their way across the country evading police, trying their luck on the slots, and meeting a life-changing pig, all to track down Donor 806, their father. Any hope of success requires smarts, luck, and ingenuity. Good thing they have each other... even if they don't see it that way.

Within that 60-year span, the auto industry endured countless challenges and achieved remarkable victories. the Twenties marked the beginning of the end for many smaller companies and makes, and the Great Depression continued to thin the herd. But adversity spawned inventiveness. Some of America's finest cars were built as their manufactures drew last breath. After serving as the linchpin of the American war machine during world War II, automakers returned to civilian production and an advantageous sellers' market. But by the early Fifties, supply had caught up with demand and Detroit relied on flamboyant design and raw horsepower to lure buyers. The early Sixties saw automakers respond to a cooling economy with low-priced, economical compacts. But as America's pocketbooks recovered mid-decade, a new vehicle caught the public's imagination: the muscle car. Although the power era produced some of Detroit's most memorable iron, it was cut short by legitimate environmental concerns, federal regulations, and a pair of energy crises during the Seventies. Though the "import invasion" of European and Japanese cars didn't really pick up steam in the mainstream North American market until the Seventies, foreign cars were a small but still important part of the U.S. automotive landscape long before then. From the post-World War II trend toward zippy two-seat sports cars to the rise of fuel-sipping compact and subcompact cars, imports have played a key role in shaping the American automotive landscape. In addition to the expected U.S. makes, CLASSIC CARS showcases several overseas classics that provide an illuminating perspective of their respective eras--and the unique design philosophies of their makers. Imagine, for instance, a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner convertible sharing the road with a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 220S convertible coupe. Here you'll find familiar favorites such as the 19*39 Ford DeLuxe coupe, 1953 Cadillac Eldorado, and 1961 Chevrolet Corvette, and also discover obscure rarities such as the 1951 Jowett Jupiter convertible and 1959 Goggomobil Dart roadster. you can contrast the simple beauty of the nimble 1971 Toyota Celica ST hardtop coupe with the lumbering luxury of the extravagant 1972 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight regency hardtop sedan. Each of these remarkable machines is a wondrous time capsule of its era and a testament to the skills and ambitions of its creators, Enjoy the journey!"--Jacket flaps
