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.

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
