Description
The car has profoundly reshaped our world. From its early days at the Ford Motor Company to the present day, this design history explores how cars have accelerated the pace of the 20th century. The automobile's impact extends beyond the production and purchasing of consumer goods, shaping cities, nations, and landscapes. The book delves into the history of car design, from the introduction of the annual model by General Motors in the 1920s to the renewed interest in electric cars after the energy crises of the 1970s. As we look to the future of car design, this book invites us to examine its accelerated past. By understanding where the automobile has been, it may help us better envision where it is going.
