A 320 page leather covered book of the complete story of Automobile. From its origins in 1769 to the present day (1979). the author, Mr Roberts, does a fantastic job of including the full story of the automobile or horseless carriage, (not just a biased look at the United States view of history, or the postures from a fanatic of one car make like Ford or Pontiac. But, he has succeeded in telling the "WHOLE STORY". As you can see from the pictures, this is one ILLUSTRATED book, but yet is full of interesting details and stories on the beginnings and endeavors of some of the great auto minds of the past 150 years.
