Automania / by Kinchin, Juliet,author,curator.(CARDINAL)312399; Galloway, Paul,1977-writer of added commentary.; Gardner, Andrew,writer of added commentary.(CARDINAL)830301; Lowry, Glenn D.,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)137647; Museum of Modern Art (New York, N.Y.)(CARDINAL)139062;
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).

The driving machine : a design history of the car / by Rybczynski, Witold,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)135788;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 211-213) and index.Starting the car -- Four wheels under an umbrella -- Mass production -- Good tools -- Car culture -- Also-rans -- Austerity -- Fun -- Made in Japan -- End of the road -- The next car -- Coda: elegy -- Acknowledgments -- Appendix: a car diary, 1964-2017."The renowned design writer on the extraordinary history of car design. In this lively and entertaining work, Witold Rybczynski--hailed as "one of the best writers on design working today" by Publishers Weekly--tells the story of the most distinctive cars in history and the artists, engineers, dreamers, and gearheads who created them. Delving into more than 170 years of ingenuity in design, technology, and engineering, he takes us from Carl Benz's three-wheel motorcar in 1855 to the present-day shift to electric cars. Along the way, he looks at the emergence of mass production with Henry Ford's Model T; the Golden Age of American car design and the rise of car culture; postwar European subcompacts typified by the Mini Cooper; and the long tradition of the streamlined and elegant sports car. Rybczynski explores how cars have been reflections of national character (the charming Italian Fiat Cinquecento), icons of a subculture (the VW bus for American hippies), and even emblems of an era (the practical Chrysler minivan). He explains key developments in automotive technology, including the electric starter, rack-and-pinion steering, and disc brakes, bringing to light how the modern automobile is the result of more than a century of trial and error. And he weaves in charming accounts of the many cars he's owned and driven, starting with his first--the iconic Volkswagen Beetle. The Driving Machine is a breezy and fascinating history of design, illustrated with the author's delightful drawings."--

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

A man & his car : iconic cars and stories from the men who love them / by Hranek, Matt,author.(CARDINAL)837184;
"Man-about-town and NYC men's style fixture Matt Hranek is back with his second book, A Man & His Car. Here is a beautiful homage to an object of men's obsession, told in firsthand original interviews. Jay Leno, a major car collector and the host of Jay Leno's Garage, shares the story of his oldest car, a 1955 Buick Roadmaster that he bought for $350, which he literally slept in before getting his break in L.A. Kevin Costner reveals that he got so attached to the iconic Shelby Mustang he drove in the movie Bull Durham, he bought it for his own personal collection. Franz von Holzhausen, chief designer at Tesla, who worked hand in hand with Elon Musk to design the Tesla Model S prototype, says that his love of cars started when he was two (as evidenced by a picture of him sitting in a high chair drawing a car). And as for Snoop Dogg and his 1965 Cadillac "Snoop DeVille" convertible-do we even need to explain? A Man & His Car includes visits to some of the most exclusive collections in the world-from that of the Petersen Automotive Museum to those of car manufacturers from Fiat to Alfa Romeo-giving us access to Steve McQueen's favorite car, a 1956 Jaguar XKSS; the 1971 DeTomaso Pantera that Elvis purchased for his then-girlfriend Linda Thompson (and which has two bullet holes in the steering wheel and one in the driver's-side floorpan from when, after an altercation with Thompson, Presley fired three rounds into the interior when the car wouldn't start); and a super-rare, 24-karat-gold-plated 1980 DeLorean DMC-12, a model that was sold exclusively to American Express Gold Card members through the 1980 American Express catalog, for an astronomical $85,000 (equivalent to more than $250,000 today). Exquisite photos of each car accompany each story, and since cars naturally hold more detail than watches, there will be more photos in this book-of the cars head-on, of their hood ornaments and wheels, and of course full-body shots. With Hranek's storytelling, the cars become more than just vehicles for transportation and status symbols; they represent pop-culture moments, pioneering achievements, heirlooms, friendships, and more."--
