In the 1970s, as car enthusiasts in the U.S. grew bored with models
manufactured under tightening pollution and safety regulations,
some innovative dealers exploited a legal loophole-designed to
allow U.S. soldiers and diplomats to return from abroad with their
vehicles-to import exotic cars never intended for sale in America.
During the 1980s, a rise in the value of the dollar made car
shopping in Europe a bargain hunter's dream. A network of
unauthorized "gray market" dealers emerged, bypassing factory
channels. Middle-class Americans suddenly found they could afford a
Mercedes or BMW. These cars had to pass through U.S. customs,
equipped to handle only a few independent imports annually. As
applications ballooned, the regulatory system collapsed. This is
the story of a misunderstood but fascinating period in the
automotive industry, when creative importers found ways to put
American motorists in new Ferraris while the EPA and DOT were
backed up with mounds of paperwork.
First produced in 1928, Mercedes-Benz Coupes became the embodiment
of elegance and exclusivity on four wheels. Their design became an
experience for all the senses, appealing to every emotion.
Hans-Dieter Futschik, the designer responsible for many of the
later Mercedes-Benz models, said of the Saloon Coupe: 'A shorter
wheelbase compared with the saloons gives it different proportions
that are almost sports car-like in character. The passenger
compartment is set further back. This gives it a sportier look than
a saloon. In addition, the greenhouse is smaller and more
streamlined than the basic body. It looks like a small head set on
a muscular body, exuding a powerful and more dynamic attitude...
Everything radiates power, elegance and agility.' This complete
guide includes an overview of early automotive history; pre-merger
design from both Benz and Daimler; the historical protagonists and
how they influenced the design; how design and fashion change
vehicle shape; the continued development of Saloon Coupe design to
suit every class and finally, the modern idea of the Coupe.

In African Motors, Joshua Grace examines how Tanzanian drivers,
mechanics, and passengers reconstituted the automobile into a
uniquely African form between the late 1800s and the early 2000s.
Drawing on hundreds of oral histories, extensive archival research,
and his ethnographic fieldwork as an apprentice in Dar es Salaam's
network of garages, Grace counters the pervasive narratives that
Africa is incompatible with technology and that the African use of
cars is merely an appropriation of technology created elsewhere.
Although automobiles were invented in Europe and introduced as part
of colonial rule, Grace shows how Tanzanians transformed them,
increasingly associating their own car use with maendeleo, the
Kiswahili word for progress or development. Focusing on the
formation of masculinities based in automotive cultures, Grace also
outlines the process through which African men remade themselves
and their communities by adapting technological objects and systems
for local purposes. Ultimately, African Motors is an
African-centered story of development featuring everyday examples
of Africans forging both individual and collective cultures of
social and technological wellbeing through movement, making, and
repair.

The MGB was a great British success story, a product largely
conceived, designed and produced by a small team of dedicated
people who genuinely cared about their work. Of course, the MGB
came from a proud, successful sports car tradition, and the model
it replaced - the revolutionary aerodynamic MGA - had been an
unprecedented success - so the new car had big shoes to fill.
Launching in 1962 and in production for eighteen years, the MGB
became one of the most successful sports cars the world has ever
known. This book describes how the MGB arose principally from the
ideas of one man, MG's Chief Engineer, Syd Enever, how it was
designed and developed, how it survived and thrived, and how it
became the classic car still highly regarded today. There have been
many previous books about the MGB, and the related MGC and V8
variants, but MGB - The superlative MG reaches a new level of
detail together seasoned with fresh insight. David Knowles has been
researching and writing about the MGB for more than thirty years.
Prepare to be surprised at some of the stories you will have never

In this age of high fuel prices and concern with continuing
availability of oil, scientists are working on a number of
approaches to alternate fuel sources. These concerns may provoke
interest in how some people in gas-starved Europe dealt with such
problems throughout the war years, 1939-1945. One of the most
successful innovations, were the so-called gas producer vehicles
that utilized the by-products of solid fuel combustion, employing
such solids as coal, charcoal, turf, and wood to produce fuel gas
for a standard internal combustion engine. This book provides an
overview of such vehicles, including those used by the Wehrmacht.
Schematics of operating systems and the regulations concerning
their use are also included, along with a translated German
illustratedoperators manual.
