Organized by era, the book is packed with more than 250 manufacturers and hundreds of individual models that trace the evolution of the American automobile, from the first Model T that rolled off Ford's first assembly line in 1908 through the art deco streamliners of the '30s, to the tail-finned land yachts of the '50s, muscle cars of the '60s and '70s, to the early SUVs of the '90s. With an introduction and commentary from automotive journalist Matt Stone of Motor Trend Classic, this unique volume is the perfect gift for every classic car fan.
