The most lavishly illustrated treatment of the subject on the market, featuring the most noteworthy cars of each decade in beautifully photographed catalogs, Car is truly an international view of the automobile through time, with histories of the men and machines that created brands which are now household names.

{PRETITLE} Car: The Definitive Visual History of the Automobile {POSTTITLE}

This is a coffee table book, definitely not for the detailed aficionado but perhaps for someone who enjoys cars and reading their stories and looking at their pictures. It is concerned more with speed and performance than with the newer fuel efficient models. The book is divided into; the first automobile to 1920, then the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000 onward, how an engine works, a glossary and an index.

The pictures are beautiful and most all in colour. There are smaller illustrations listing the origin, the engine and top speed and a bit of their history. Then there are specific cars singled out for a larger page display, such as the Model T, Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, and the DeLorean DMC-12.
Those who want an illustrated story of the automobile's history might enjoy this book.

This book is a fantastic visual overview of all things car from their humble beginnings to the present day. It is exactly what you would expect out of a DK book: superb photographs, full color, high quality, and an interesting and informative layout. This book does exactly what a coffee table book should do: allows you to flip through it for a few minutes, see some fantastic images, and read a few short blurbs about both great and merely interesting automobiles. It is a must-have for any auto aficionado; no matter the level of knowledge, there is something new and interesting to learn from this book.
