Overview

"This book is a part of the most comprehensive work ever completed on the history of the automobile. In the series ""A World of Wheels"", you will learn about the birth of the modern motorcar in detail, from the very first Benz carriage to the super technical cars of the present day. All of the information is described by some of the best automobile historians in the world. In this volume we are going to study the major mechanical improvements: front-wheel drive, independent suspension, synchromesh and automatic gearboxes and on the refinement of unitary bodywork, including the introduction of compound curves, proper ventilation and modern aerodynamics. There are also chapters on the euphoria created advertising and the Grande Routiere. Finally we look at the years after WWII and the life and death of the past-war hopefuls."
