Time-travel through the Automobile Age with a collection that puts
you in the driver's seat. 20th Century Classic Cars offers a lush
visual history of the automobile, decade by decade, via 400-plus
print advertisements from the Jim Heimann Collection. Using imagery
culled from a century of auto advertising, this book traces the
evolution of the auto from horseless carriage to rocket on
wheels-and beyond. With an introduction and chapter text by former
New York Times automotive writer Phil Patton, as well as an
illustrated timeline, this volume highlights the technological
innovations, major manufacturers and dealers, historical events,
and influence of popular culture on car design. About the series
Bibliotheca Universalis - Compact cultural companions celebrating
the eclectic TASCHEN universe!
This comprehensive account of the past, present and future of the
automobile examines the key trends, key technologies and key
players involved in the race to develop clean, environmentally
friendly vehicles that are affordable and that do not compromise on
safety or design. Undertaking a rigorous interrogation of our
global dependency on oil, the author demonstrates just how unwise
and unnecessary this is in light of current developments such as
the fuel cell revolution and the increasing viability of hybrid
cars, which use both petrol and electricity - innovations that
could signal a new era of clean, sustainable energy. The arguments
put forward draw on support from an eclectic range of sources -
including industry insiders, scientists, economists and
environmentalists - to make for an enlightening read.

Slow Burn tells how the superbike racing motorcycle developed out
of the roadgoing sports-tourer to become one of the most successful
competitions in all forms of motorcycle sport. As well as offering
world championship class competition in its own right, superbike
racing has been a highly competitive training ground for grand prix
riders as well as helping manufacturers, distributors and dealers
develop and improve their motorcycles. Superbike racing is to the
motorcycle industry what touring car or NASCAR competition is to
the car world - race on Sunday, sell on Monday. All the big names
were drawn into the sport during its formative years and have been
there ever since - Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati and
Aprilia have all used superbike racing to test their street bike
designs. And some of the biggest riders in the sport - Wayne
Gardner, Wayne Rainey, Kevin Schwantz and Eddie Lawson all started
out on big, unruly superbikes, learning how to power slide their
way around the world's toughest tracks. It's all in superbike - and
it's all in Slow Burn.

Following his outstandingly successful books Works Escorts in
Detail and Works Triumphs in Detail, rally veteran and historian
Graham Robson now tackles the story of Ford's emergence during the
1960s as a leader in international saloon car competition, whether
in race or rally, beginning with the Mark 1 Cortina in 1962. Walter
Hayes was the driving force behind this push forward. It was he who
enlisted Colin Chapman to create the Lotus-Cortina, he who had bold
ideas like entering the Safari Rally and the London-Sydney
Marathon, he who brought in Alan Mann Racing to wipe the board in
touring car racing, he who attracted top-flight drivers like Roger
Clark, Jim Clark, Graham Hill and Pat Moss, and he who inspired
Ford's quite dazzling success in national and international
competition. The career of every works Mark I and Mark II Cortina,
Lotus-Cortina, Capri and Corsair is individually recounted in this
book, with contemporary action photographs and listings of events
entered, results and drivers, along with accounts of performances
in rallies and races. In addition there are specially commissioned
colour photographs of a number of surviving works cars, which have
been shot in considerable detail. For fans of the race and rally
Fords of these glory days, as well as for motor sport enthusiasts,
this book is pure treasure.

Lotus introduced the Type 75 Elite in 1974. Being a full
four-seater coupe with an opening glass tailgate, it was designed
to carry a family in comfort while retaining Lotus' trademark,
excellent road holding and handling. Perhaps most importantly, it
was the first - and successful - step in Colin Chapman's plan to
move upmarket and away from Lotus' kit car image. The Elite gave
rise to two derivatives, the Eclat and the Excel. The Eclat was a
restyled coupe version, sacrificing the Elite's unique rear styling
and good rear passenger headroom for a more stylish exterior. With
its conventional coupe styling, the Eclat was more mainstream than
the Elite, and it was in the end the better seller. In turn, the
Eclat spawned the Excel, the last of the Elite-inspired family.
Matthew Vale looks at the history of these unusual Lotus models,
and gives a thorough guide to buying and owning the cars today.
Ford cars can be found all over the world, and vintage models
appear at most classic car shows. This book helps to identify the
models sold by Ford of Britain, and provides detailed information

Continuing this popular series covering classic British cars, David
Rowe now turns his keen eye to the British Ford models. He is well
placed to do so, having worked at two Ford dealerships over a
30-year period and has driven many of the models covered by this
book.

(from the book) The year was 1978 and I was sitting in the back
booth of the Pizza Hut in Mulvane, Kansas, splitting a deep pan
with my good friend, Darryl Starbird. Our friendship was close, and
I had always respected his opinion on just about anything to do
with the automobile, and especially the “kustom” vehicle. Not
only is Darryl a champ at building kustom creations, he is also one
of the top auto show producers in the U.S. For some 21 years I had
been in the shadow of this high-energy, often unbelievable, man
helping him build cars and produce car shows–a schooling that
isn’t available in any six-month course or college anywhere. I
had cruised with him on the high roads, and crashed with him on the
low shoulders. Believe me, auto show producing is not for the weak
or conservative. But my interest was up, boosted by a recent
writeup on ‘49-’51 Mercs, and front cover spread of a chopped
‘51 Mercury, by Street Rodder magazine, which at the time was
predominantly a “pre-’48” street rod magazine. Someone shared
an interest I felt I might be the[…]”
