Book excerpt: While automobiles serve as its hub, Cars of the Fabulous '50s is more than a mere "car book." Instead, it's a spirited romp through a period that's filled with fond memories for those who lived it. Classic 1950s cars like the Lincoln Cosmopolitan, Cadillac Coupe de Ville, Plymouth Belvedere, Ford Thunderbird, Mercury Montclar, Chevy Bel Air, and the original Corvette exemplified the spirit of those times: They were brawny and proud, hopeful and boastful, strong and special. Practically every page of this handsome leather-bound book is overflowing with brilliant chrome, magnificent tail fins, and vibrant paint jobs. You'll find: • Hundreds of incredible photos of vintage cars • Year-by-year summaries of each major manufacturer from the 1950s, including Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Packard, Studebaker, Hudson, Nash, AMC, Crosley, and Kaiser-Willys • Lively original ads and promotional illustrations • Informative essays about what was happening with cars and the culture at large during every year in the 1950s • Fascinating trivia, anecdotes, and quotes relating to 1950s cars Whether you're a diehard gearhead or you're simply interested in American history, Cars of the Fabulous '50s is a book that you'll return to again and again.
