Excerpt from Automotive Giants of America Men Who Are Making Our Motor Industry Curiously although our automobile industry is young, its leaders are not young men. The average age of the twenty foremost is a shade under fifty-five. Only three of them are in the forties. Every one of the twenty is self-made. Most of them had only a moderate amount of schooling. Nine had some college training. Few of them started life in any mechanical or engineering line of work. Office boys lead. Grocery boys and farm boys are well represented. Not one of the twenty comes from the Far-West. The East and the Middle-West gave birth to most of them, although the South can claim three. Ohio produced four, New York three and Michigan three. Only one was not born in America, a record probably not matched by any other industry of first importance.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION (1926): Curiosly, although our automobile industry is young, its leaders are not young men. Every one of the twenty is self-made. No other industry in this country or anywhere else in the world ever enjoyed such growth or accomplished so much in the brief space of twenty-five years. Our automotive giants are essentially men of courage, men of initiative, men of vision. How else could there have been created productive capacity of over 5,000,000 vehicles a year, when year after year from the very start there have been direful prophesies of impending "saturation", of impending disaster? How the foremost leaders have brought the automotive industry to its unique eminence is told in short stories, all of which have appeared in Forbes Magazine, half of them written by B. C. Forbes and half by O. D. Foster.

Classic Speedsters: The Cars, The Times, and The Characters Who Drove Them chronicles the most significant vehicles ever to have traveled American roads and racetracks. Speedsters were the pizzazz cars of their era. Speedsters were owned by entertainers, captains of industry, the wealthy, and in some cases, the everyday guy or gal. They were often expensive, but always fast and sexy. Speedsters were America's first sports cars.Each chapter frames the birth and evolution of a company that produced a speedster model in its lineup and includes a biography of a famous owner of the period. This book traces the journey of the speedster concept across several time periods and among twelve automotive companies. It answers three fundamental questions:· Why were these cars so important and influential?· Why did so many prominent people own them?· What message do they have for modern design?
