Superb book on the evolution of automobile design. It is well documented and easy to read. This book has over 300 drawings so without even reading the text one can get a clear feel for the evolution of automobile design over nearly 100 years.
The other value found in this book are the explanations of why features developed as they did. For example, closed cars in an affordable form did not truly evolve until the early twenties.
