Not just a book of glossy advertising shots, THE CAR is a social history of the impact that cars and driving have had on the world, and nowhere more so than in the United States: freeways, driveins, trucks and trailer parks all spring from the invention of the internal combustion engine" (Quoted material from publisher)
