American Auto offers a compelling look at three decades (from the
1950s to the 1970s) of America s fascination with the automobile.
At a time when self-driving vehicles and climate change are
transforming driving around the world, Zimmerman s pictures capture
the optimism and even utopianism of a beloved period in American
car culture. Many of Zimmerman s photographs were originally taken
for Life, Time, and Sports Illustrated magazines and highlight
diverse aspects of America s auto industry at its zenith; they
feature not only iconic cars of the period, which Zimmerman
chronicled comprehensively at car shows and in studio assignments
throughout the period, but also a behind-the-scenes look at the
people who designed, built, collected, exhibited, and raced them.
With more than 200 photographs, drawing on the Zimmerman Archive s
collection including his best-known photographs of Fords,
Chryslers, and GMs in their heyday alongside ephemera, tear sheets,
outtakes, and contacts from his assignments the book celebrates the
automobile s central place in American culture during those decades
when the timeless silhouettes of classic cars ruled the roads.
