Classic Cars of the 1950's and 1960's by Michael Sedgwick

This book covers the complex developments in the automobile field during these two decades, from the most basic family models to the top-of-the-range cars. There are chapters on the technical innovations - for example, showing how modern materials helped designers to adapt to the fashions of the time - as well as in-depth coverage of major improvements in areas like handling, mechanical performance and compfort. The authoritative text is complemented by over 350 illustrations - many in colour - which bring the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of the cars back to life and provide the automobile enthusiast and the collector with a comprehensive history of the period.
