David Buick, Henry Ford, Charles W. Nash, Ransom E. Olds, James Ward Packard, the Studebaker and the Dodge brothers - these giants of the early auto era, their unforgettable early cars, their one-room factories and crude assembly lines are the heroes of Floyd Clymer\'s latest big book.For the thousands who enjoyed Mr. Clymer\'s TREASURY OF EARLY AMERICAN AUTOMOBILES, this new book will prove every bit as fascinating, filled with entertaining memories for the middle-aged and amusing surprises for the young. Floyd Clymer has lived close to the automobile all his life and has watched at first hand many of the industry\'s most exciting development. He tells the complete story of these surviving early makes, a story that spans a period of some thirty-five years, from 1895 to 1930: who built them, where, and when ; who rode and raced in them ; what they looked like and how they performed. Mr. Clymer also provides pictures and interesting historical data on the other little-known or short-lived cars of yesterday, including the electric, the cyclecar, the three-wheeler, the air-cooled models, and many others.THOSE WONDERFUL OLD AUTOMOBILES describes, with gaiety and gusto, the endearing characteristics and oddities of the automobile\'s first years: the weird laws that frustrated early motorists and protected Old Dobbin; the early gasoline stations (often blacksmith shops) ; the first roads and diabolical speed traps; such automotive novelties as the hill holder, the rubber dummy driver, the patent-leather license plate; the outlandish auto fashions for milady; the wonderful songs and enthusiastic advertisements that the new four-wheeled phenomenon inspired; the famous racing cars, hot rods, and strange contraptions that hit the roads-and often each other-with such impact.THOSE WONDERFUL OLD AUTOMOBILES is irresistible entertainment, and absolutely certain to enthrall all those who remember the hectic days when motoring was not for the millions and the expression \"Get a horse\" had real meaning.All pictures are of the actual item.
