An examination of the remarkable, world-changing history of the car decade by decade, this title charts how cars have adapted as a result of what society has demanded of them.
This book looks at the remarkable, world-changing history of the car decade by decade and charts how cars have adapted as a result of what society has demanded of them. Separate chapters are devoted to such things as where to stop and what to wear, tyres and wheels, city driving and four-wheel drives, and a series of chapters looks at the technological changes of the last century, from wooden wheels to computer control.

L. J. K. Setright has been writing for car magazines for 33 years, is a world expert on tyres and expresses forthright views on such things as speed limits, taxation, and pollution, and offers fascinating divagations on anything from the origins of the word 'dashboard' to the maximum speed of a rain drop. ( 18mph, unaided by wind)
