After World War I, there was a great hunger for cars in Britain.
Many servicemen had learned to drive and had money from their
demobilization grants to spend, but British factories were not
immediately able to get back into car production, so they looked to
America for automobiles. In 1919, two out of every five cars on
British roads were Fords built in England, and in 1925, General
Motors took over British manufacturer Vauxhall. Hudson also became
a prolific assembler during this time and Chrysler built an
assembly plant in Kew. This volume features numerous photographs
and commentary on many makes of American cars that could be seen on
British roads before the beginning of World War II. Allard, Buick,
Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Durant, Duryea, Essex, Ford,
Hudson, Jewett, La Salle, Oldsmobile, Overland, Packard, Plymouth,
Saxon, Stanley, Studebaker, Stutz and White are among the
manufacturers whose cars are included. The author provides a
concise description of each automobile he covers, and points out
its interesting features and technical details (horsepower and
engine size, for example).
