Kings of the Quarter Mile: Rail-Jobs Slingshots & Mid-Engine Dragsters
When our young heroes began returning from World War II, they applied the knowledge gained from Uncle Sam towards the fledgling hot rod movement. While speeds increased, rodders learned the hard way just how dangerous it was to drag it out on the city streets. In the mid 50s, organized drag racing gave hot rodders a safe place to race. Cars evolved from pre-war coupes and sedans to crude rail jobs, which were stripped and narrowed frame rails with nothing more than an engine, driveline, seat, and steering gear. As hot rodders were the true Mothers of Invention, the cars later became hand-made, finely crafted Slingshot Dragsters. Dubbed the Kings of the Sport, these supercharged, fuel-injected Slingshots burned exotic fuels and captured the attention of every young enthusiast from coast to coast. The cars dazzled with gleaming chrome, Candy Apple, Pearlescent, and Metalflake® paint jobs, while the nitromethane fuel produced an unforgettable thunderous sound. This new volume contains all the stars that waged war on quarter-mile strips of asphalt from California to Maine. Its a vivid pictorial display that captures the true essence of extreme acceleration in all its glory.

La Citroën 2 CV de mon père
Français:
Présentée pour la première fois au grand public au Salon de l'automobile de Paris, le 7 octobre 1948, la 2 CV Citroën s'inscrit dans l'histoire de l'automobile Française et européenne comme une voiture à part. Après quarante-deux années d'une carrière bien remplie, sa production cesse au mois de juillet 1990 dans l'usine Citroën de Mangualde. Mais la 2 CV n'est pas morte pour autant. En effet, elle reste à jamais dans les mémoires de ceux qui l'ont utilisée. Avec elle, ils se sont rendus chaque matin sur le chemin du travail. Ils l'ont emmenée tout autour de la terre, se jouant des situations difficiles en traversant les continents le plus simplement du monde. Aujourd'hui, la 2 CV Citroën est un véritable symbole qui rassemble autour d'elle de nombreuses générations d'inconditionnels. Véritable monument historique du paysage automobile Français, cette petite voiture rustique, qui n'a jamais vieilli, reste d'une jeunesse terriblement contagieuse.
English:
Presented for the first time to the general public at the Paris Motor Show, October 7, 1948, the 2 CV Citroën is part of the history of the French and European car as a separate car. After forty-two years of a busy career, its production ceased in July 1990 in the Citroën plant in Mangualde. But the 2 CV is not dead for all that. Indeed, it remains forever in the memories of those who have used it. With her, they went every morning on the way to work. They took her all around the world, playing with difficult situations across the continents of the world. Today, the 2 CV Citroën is a true symbol that brings together around it many generations of fans. A real historical monument to the French automotive landscape, this little rustic car, which has never aged, remains terribly contagious.
La Citroën 2CV de mon père Fourgonnette
Français:
Avec la 2 CV, on croyait avoir atteint le summum de l'automobile spartiate. On se trompait. Citroën pouvait encore faire mieux dans l'austérité. Sur la même base, deux ans après la berline, la version utilitaire fourgonnette est lancée. Hors du temps et des modes, ce petit dromadaire de la route roulera sa bosse infatigablement pendant vingt-huit ans, de 1950 à 1978, sans changements notables. La Fourgonnette sera fabriquée aux quatre coins du monde et vendue pratiquement sans publicité. Elle apparaît à peine dans quelques catalogues. Parfaitement adaptée à tous les climats, avec son moteur refroidi par air, elle convient aux pays en voie de développement, car elle est sobre et économique. Enfin, sa suspension fait des merveilles sur tous les terrains. Comme sa grande sœur la 2 CV, cette fidèle amie des globe-trotters participera à de nombreux raids autour du monde. Imbattable, discrète, indispensable, impossible à copier, rien ne l'a remplacée aujourd'hui. De nombreux utilisateurs regrettent sa simplicité et sa cote d'amour auprès des collectionneurs ne cesse de grimper.
English:
With the 2 CV, it was believed to have reached the pinnacle of the Spartan automobile. We were mistaken. Citroen could still do better in austerity. On the same basis, two years after the sedan, the utility van version is launched. Out of time and fashions, this little dromedary of the road will roll his bump indefatigably for twenty-eight years, from 1950 to 1978, without noticeable changes. La Fourgonnette will be manufactured all over the world and sold virtually without advertising. It appears hardly in a few catalogs. Perfectly adapted to all climates, with its air-cooled engine, it is suitable for developing countries, because it is sober and economical. Finally, its suspension does wonders on all terrains. Like her big sister the 2 CV, this faithful friend of globe-trotters will participate in many raids around the world. Unbeatable, discreet, indispensable, impossible to copy, nothing has replaced it today. Many users regret its simplicity and its love rating with collectors is constantly climbing.
La Citroën Traction de mon père
Français:
En 1933, les affaires d'André Citroën connaissent des difficultés sérieuses. Il vient de reconstruire et de moderniser entièrement son usine du quai de Javel en moins de cinq mois, sans jamais perturber la production, et relève le défi industriel le plus étonnant qui soit. " Celui qui empêche Louis Renault de dormir " projette de lancer une automobile véritablement révolutionnaire qui lui donnera des années d'avance sur la concurrence. Mais il lui faut faire vite car la situation empire. En mars 1933, il embauche un jeune ingénieur répondant au nom d'André Lefebvre qui " s'ennuyait " chez Renault. Celui-ci travaille déjà depuis quelque temps à l'étude d'une voiture à traction avant. Le 18 avril 1934, la Traction Avant est présentée aux concessionnaires et les premières ventes ont lieu le mois suivant. Mais elle manque de mise au point et la situation financière de l'usine ne se redresse pas. Acculé à la faillite, André Citroën doit laisser son usine à la maison Michelin, son plus gros créancier. Usé et fatigué, il décède le 3 juillet 1935 sans avoir vu le triomphe de sa dernière création. Les nouveaux maîtres du quai de Javel vont achever la mise au point de cette Traction qu'il avait tant voulue. Son histoire ne prend fin que le 18 juillet 1957, lorsque le dernier exemplaire quitte les chaînes de montage du quai de Javel.
English:
In 1933, the business of André Citroën experienced serious difficulties. It has just rebuilt and completely modernized its factory in the Quai de Javel in less than five months, without ever disrupting production, and takes up the most amazing industrial challenge. "The one who prevents Louis Renault from sleeping" plans to launch a truly revolutionary automobile that will give him years ahead of the competition. But it must be done quickly because the situation is getting worse. In March 1933, he hired a young engineer named André Lefebvre who was "bored" at Renault. For some time now, he has been working on a front-wheel drive car. On April 18, 1934, Traction Avant was presented to the dealers and the first sales took place the following month. But it lacks focus and the financial situation of the factory does not recover. Fueled by bankruptcy, André Citroën must leave his factory at the house Michelin, his biggest creditor. Worn out and tired, he died on July 3, 1935 without having seen the triumph of his latest creation. The new masters of the quai de Javel will complete the development of this Traction which he had so much desired. Its history ends only on July 18, 1957, when the last copy leaves the assembly lines of the quay of Javel.
La Ford T & A de mon père Ford
French-language text.
If there is a hierarchy in the world history of the development of large-scale automobile, the model Ford T, declared car of the twentieth century, is undeniably at the top of this ranking. Produced between 1908 and 1927 with more than 16 million copies, it made the fortune of its progenitor, Henry Ford, and fought, before anyone else, the notion - now obsolete - of the automobile object of luxury and privilege of the privileged. On Friday, December 2, 1927, the Ford Type A carries the heavy responsibility of replacing the mythical but aging Ford Model T. The design office this time develops the project from a white sheet: it comes out a machine otherwise Modern, in agreement, both in style and technique, with the late 1920s. Henry Ford and his son, Edsel, are definitely reassured about the future of the newcomer: 400,000 orders are quickly registered and close to 5 million units pass the gates of the factory before the end of the manufacture in 1932. This work retraces the commercial career, the different models of the catalogs, vintage by vintage, the special bodies and the genesis of these two Vehicles that have forever marked the history of the Ford Motor Company.
Translation:
S'il existe une hiérarchie dans l'histoire mondiale du développement de l'automobile de grande diffusion, la Ford modèle T, déclarée voiture du XXe siècle, se place indiscutablement à la tête de ce classement. Produite de 1908 à 1927 à plus de 16 millions d'exemplaires, elle a fait la fortune de son géniteur, Henry Ford, et a combattu, avant quiconque, la notion - désormais périmée - de l'automobile objet de luxe et apanage des privilégiés. Le vendredi 2 décembre 1927, la Ford Type A endosse la lourde responsabilité de se substituer à la mythique mais vieillissante Ford modèle T. Le bureau d'études élabore cette fois le projet à partir d'une feuille blanche : il en ressort une machine autrement moderne, en accord, tant au niveau du style que de la technique, avec la fin des années 1920. Henry Ford et son fils, Edsel, sont définitivement rassurés sur l'avenir de la nouvelle venue : 400 000 commandes sont rapidement enregistrées et près de 5 millions d'unités passent les grilles de l'usine avant la fin de la fabrication, en 1932. Cet ouvrage retrace la carrière commerciale, les différents modèles des catalogues, millésime par millésime, les carrosseries spéciales ainsi que la genèse de ces deux véhicules qui ont marqué à jamais l'histoire de la Ford Motor Company.

La Renault Floride & Caravelle De Mon Père
Français:
La date du 16 janvier 1945 marque la renaissance de la célèbre marque de Billancourt, désormais connue sous le nom de Régie nationale des usines Renault. Le personnel se consacre avec enthousiasme à consolider une entreprise meurtrie par les drames de l'Occupation, aidé en cela par la 4 CV, l'arme absolue de cette reconquête à la fois industrielle et commerciale. Le lancement de la Dauphine en mars 1956 marque une étape importante pour la firme aux assises définitivement consolidées, lui offrant enfin une véritable vision d'avenir.
C'est dans ce climat de sérénité retrouvée que naît la jolie Floride en 1959. Une machine élégante, livrable en cabriolet coupé aux lignes innovantes, qui, par son côté ludique, renoue avec la tradition des cabriolets Primaquatre, Vivaquatre et autres Vivastella d'avant-guerre. La Renault Floride, fort symbole automobile du début des années 1960 - période insouciante et heureuse de Brigitte Bardot et de la nouvelle vague -, était un pari hardi pour un grand constructeur généraliste comme la société au célèbre losange, mais l'accueil des consommateurs fut au rendez-vous ! Cet ouvrage a pour mission de retracer la carrière de la Floride et de sa soeur la Caravelle, de la genèse du modèle à sa présentation mouvementée.
Il explore en détail les différents millésimes constituant sa présence de huit années sur le marché hexagonal et étranger.
