A colourful history of the car, from the invention of the first model steam carriage in the late 17th century until the beginning of World War 1. Twenty-eight pages of meticulously drawn illustrations picture some of the classic-marques- De Dion Bouton, Daimler, Mercedes, Cadillac. Anthony Bird's authoritative text discusses the cars and also describes in detail the developments in design and engineering, the evolution from steam to gasoline engines, the development of the carburettor, radiator and ignition system, the mania for speed and road racing and the gradual acceptance of the car into everyday life.
