100 Years of Worlds Automobiles 1862-1962

The independent automakers who had survived the depression of the 1930s had flexibility and enough capital from the war to be the first to launch all-new models for a car starved nation. So lucrative was the American post-war car market that new automobile companies were also formed to cash in on the pent-up demand for new cars. This is their story told through text and the use of contemporary brochures, period literature, factory photos, road test info and over 90 new, unpublished color photos of restored examples to relate the importance of these historic vehicles.

An exciting look at the most flamboyant decade in automotive history. Full make-by-make coverage with hundreds of photos, model year production figures, and specifications on today's hottest collector cars.
