technology have changed over time. The author covers the cars'
inception as a mechanical curiosity and later a plaything for the
wealthy; racing and the promotion of the industry; Henry Ford and
the advent of mass production; market competition during the 1920s;
the development of roads and accompanying highway culture; the
effects of the Great Depression and World War II; the automotive
Golden Age of the 1950s; oil crises and the turbulent 1970s; the
decline and then resurgence of the Big Three; and how American car
culture has been represented in film, music and literature.
