Classic American Cars: An Illustrated Guide [Hardcover]

From the turn of the Twentieth Century to the present day,Classic American Cars An Illustrated Guidetraces the development of the American automobile, and the social change it brought.

Author Craig Cheetham begins by looking at the horseless carriages of old, and moves into the fighter plane inspired designs of the 1940’s, before moving to the cars of today.

Technical details, modifications made from their automobile predecessors, their performance and handling on the road, and the public's reception of the car are described so vividly that you'll think you're in the driver's seat. And every car is, of course, accompanied with beautiful images.

Through meticulous study,Bruce Wexlerhas gained an intimate knowledge of the Victorian crime scene and early attempts at using forensic and logical methods of detection. Applying this study to his great fondness for the Sherlock Holmes stories, he has been able to blend the two — fact and fiction — to bring new insight into the life and times of the great detective.
