A memorable look at a decade that sums up all that is exciting about the American spirit. A lively, full-color celebration of an automotive era that began with '30s-fashion cars and ended with recognizably modern vehicles. It's also the story of how America's automakers helped the Allies win World War II. Uses the proven picture-caption format, with over 1,400 photos of every major make of 1940s American car, plus classic independents, such as Hudson and Studebaker. Also includes period "lifestyle" photos, contemporary auto ads, and compelling war-production art. Shows how carmakers emerged from the Great Depression, turning out guns and fighting aircraft before basking in a postwar seller's market.

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.

The 1950s was a "golden era" for Detroit, reflecting the endless optimism and futuristic view in America following World War II. Car designers and stylists were inspired by current day fighter jets, space age technology, and chrome. Their creations sported great chrome grilles, bullet-nosed bumpers, enormous tail fins, cockpit-styled dashboards, and frames as big as aircraft carriers. The allure and emotional appeal of these cars has been well document in countless books over the years. But without exception all of these titles look fabulous '50s vehicles as the sum of their parts. None focus specifically on what many consider to be the most distinguishing aspect of many of the cars from the fabulous '50s - their front grilles.
