Cars of the 50s and 60s (large hardcover book)
by Michael Sedgwick
Hardback, large format, colour, excellent condition
With the 1950s and 1960s we reached the zenith of the automobile as both means of mass transportation and an ideal of beauty and technology.
Cars became symbols of national as well as personal prosperity and know-how, their refinements demanding the talents of everyone from engineers and stylists to racing drivers and marketing experts, until problems such as fuel shortage and safety standards put on the brakes.
In this book, all the complex developments in automotive theory and practice are covered. With chapters on technical innovations, fashions and comfort, advertising, specialist vehicles from the luxury limousine to the simple kit-car, and the destinies of global manufacturers, the author's picture of what it was like to make and use a car during these energetic years emerges as one of endless variety.
Supporting the detailed text are over 350 illustrations-half colour- which bring the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of the period back to life at their best for the automobile enthusiast and the collector of what, in numerous cases, are already regarded as classic cars.
