Treasury of Early American Automobiles, 1877-1925

Here's what an ad for this book said in 1958: "America's favorite topic of conversation today, save for perhaps the weather and the Russians, is the automobile. Yet only fifty years ago the automobile was a coughing, rattling, smoking apparition that scared horses, outraged respectable citizens, and was judged a passing fad. In that half century the automobile industry not only came of age but wrought great changes in the American way of life. 500 Illustrations, 224 large pages, 22,000 words of interesting text."
