Synopsis

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.
