De Dion Bouton: First Automobile Giant
The history of lesser known car manufacturers that no longer exist, though they were the best-sellers in their time, is generaly limited to a paragraph. This wonderful book on the DeDion-Bouton, #6 in the Ballantie series on the "History of the Car", is a treasure at 159 pages long. The paperback covers the 20 year rise of this most popular car and the reasons for its 20 year decline. It is plentifully illustrated with black-and-white photos, drawings and diagrams of car parts and many, possibly all, models. Nowhere else have I been able to find anything in literature or at local musea that might help me identify the model or the reason why and when my great-grandfather bought a DeDion-Bouton in the 1890's. If the others in this Balantine Series are as exhaustive, they make a great read/gift for the car enthusiast.
Just ’30s: 10 Years of Classics and Depression-Era Wonders
The 1930s might have been the greatest 10-year period in the history of the American automobile. Even in the face of a suffocating Depression, American cars continued to evolve with beautiful, streamlined designs that had never been seen before. General Motors began "face lifting" its vehicles with new styles for every model year. Hard-rubber rides were softened by balloon tires, impressive 16-cylinder engines began showing up under massive hoods and hydraulic brakes became the norm. The synchromesh transmission, independent suspension, heaters and radios made automotive journeys more comfortable than ever. It was truly a decade of advancement and achievement for U.S. car makers. In Just '30s, the publisher of Old Cars Weekly and OldCarsReport.com Price Guide celebrates this fabulous decade with a look back at the cars, and car companies, that gave us such great memories.
