The Definitive Shelby Mustang Guide
All car enthusiasts know about Shelby Mustangs, but what really separates them from their production-line relatives? What really makes a Shelby a Shelby? This new book from Shelby American Auto Club (SAAC) historian and registrar Greg Kolasa details the specifics on the performance and appearance alterations with both descriptive text and superb photographs. This book gives a detailed look at both the performance and styling characteristics of each year of the 1965-1970 Shelby Mustangs in text, photographs, and charts/graphs and clears up many myths and misconceptions surrounding these legendary pony cars. In addition to his firsthand knowledge, Kolasa relies heavily on factory documentation and interviews with Shelby American designers, engineers, stylists, fabricators, and race drivers to get the true, as-it-happened story of these phenomenal pony cars. Additionally, the cars included in the book were chosen specifically for their historical and technical "correctness." The Definitive Shelby Mustang Guide: 1965-1970 will serve as the illustrated Shelby Mustang sourcebook for years to come. For Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts especially, but even for general automotive historians, no automotive library would be complete without it.
The American Transportation Revolution
A history of steamboats and railroads in the United States prior to the Civil War. In the first half of the nineteenth century, transportation in the United States underwent an extraordinary transformation. Steamboats and railroads turned long-distance travel from an arduous undertaking into a regularized commodity: travel became something that people could purchase. Historians have long understood the economic and political ramifications of improved travel, but the social and cultural dimensions of early steam transit are less studied. In The American Transportation Revolution, Aaron W. Marrs explores the cultural influence of steamboats and railroads, which fascinated Americans across the country.Demonstrating the wide cultural reach of steam transit, Marrs draws from an eclectic set of sources, including children's books, comic almanacs, musical works, sermons, etiquette guides, cartoons, and employee rulebooks. This rich tapestry of cultural production helped "naturalize" steam technology for Americans before they ever encountered steam transit in person. Before ever seeing a railroad, Americans could read a novel that took place on a railroad, see an image of a train on currency, or purchase piano music imitating a train. These cultural artifacts made these new forms of transport feel familiar and natural.Marrs examines how cultural norms about travel emerged through the prescriptions of etiquette authors and the actions of travelers themselves, how enslaved people made innovative use of transportation networks to escape from slavery, and much more. Marrs convincingly demonstrates steam transportation's broad cultural impact on the United States, and how Americans, in turn, imprinted their own meaning on this new technology.

Velocette - Mov - Mac - Mss 1933-1952 Rigid Frame Workshop Manual & Illustrated Parts Manual
196 pages and more than 83 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of two original Velocette Factory Manuals, the October 1955 service manual, part number F50/7R and the March 1958 illustrated parts manual, part number F132/11R. The parts manual is invaluable as it details changes in construction by engine number and/or model year. The original 118-page factory service manual covers the 1933-1952 range of 250cc, 350cc and 500cc rigid frame models and both the 'Iron' Cylinder Head and 'Aluminum' Head machines. It includes the 1933-1948 MOV and the 1935-1948 MSS with Webb Girder Forks and the 1934-1952 MAC. The MAC models covered are the 1934-1948 with Webb Girder Forks, the 1948-1950 with 'Dowty' Oleomatic Forks and the 1951-1952 models with 'Veloce' Telescopic Forks. In addition, a reproduction of the factory 'Service and Maintenance' manual for Dowty forks is included. The original 68 page illustrated parts manual covers both the MOV and MAC models listed above. It also includes diagrams and parts listings for the Webb, Dowty and Velocette forks. The 350cc MAC is possibly the most popular Velocette model ever built. It evolved from the 250cc MOV by lengthening the stroke of the MOV crankshaft from 68.25 to 96 mm. From 1933-1939 the MAC was constructed with a rigid frame fitted with Webb girder forks. From 1940-1941 a version of the MAC was the basis for the company's World War II military motorcycles. The Military models were MDD and MAF (Factory Dispatch Records state 1320 were produced). In 1946, after the war, MAC civilian production restarted, and in 1948 the MAC's Webb girder forks were replaced with innovative air-sprung oil dampened 'Dowty Oleomatic' forks. In 1951, the Dowty forks were replaced by Veloce 'telescopic forks', with coil springs and oil damping. In June of that same year the engine was upgraded to an aluminum barrel and head with wider fins to improve cooling. For 1953, the MAC was updated with fully adjustable rear swinging arm suspension and a tube frame. Production of the rigid frame MAC ended in 1952 swing arm production ended in 1960. Based on the factory part numbers there were approximately 20 service and parts manuals published during the 20-year production run of the rigid frame machines. However, the print quality of the later factory manuals was not the best, as the same pages or sections from earlier publications were re-printed multiple times as the newer manuals were published. Unfortunately, this created problems in print quality and print density in those later manuals resulting in both light and heavy print on the same page. While we have done our best to correct as many of those imperfections as possible there are some occurrences that just could not be corrected. Therefore, we request your indulgence in tolerating any variations that still exist and accept that the intention in reproducing these manuals was to provide the reader with information that would assist in the renovation and maintenance of these classic Velocette motorcycles.
Honda 1971-1978 Workshop Manual 4-Cylinder Cb500, Cb550 & Cb550f Super Sport
194 pages, and more than 500 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is a compilation of various Honda Factory Manuals for the three variants of the 500cc and 550cc four-cylinder models manufactured from 1971 through 1978. The original CB500 released in 1971 ultimately morphed into the 1974 CB550 and the 1975 CB550F 'Super Sport'. The original 'base' 500cc manual was expanded, by the factory, to include the CB550 and subsequently updated with supplements for the later models. It covers the 1971-1973 K0, K1 & K2 CB500 the 1974-1978 CB550 K0, K1, K2 ('76), K3 ('77) & K4 ('78) and the 1975-1977 CB550F F0, F1 ('76) & F2 ('77). Beginning in 1968 and extending through the 1975 model year, the 'K' suffix often, but not always, changed on an annual basis. 'K0' was normally used to indicate the first model in the series with updated versions identified as K1, K2, K3 etc. While the 'K' number designations continued in use outside the USA through 1978, in September 1973, American Honda adopted a year identifier within the model number - for example; a CB550'76 would be a 1976 USA model but in most other countries, that same model would be identified as a CB550K2. Setting this potential for confusion aside, we can state that this manual covers the entire 1971 through 1978 range of 500cc and 550 cc four-cylinder models. After his visit to Japan in 1961, Floyd Clymer published 'The Complete Catalog of Japanese Motor Vehicles' (ISBN 9781588502209). Based on his experiences during that visit, Floyd also anticipated the need for repair manuals for those Japanese motorcycles that were just starting to be imported into the USA [Yamaha (1958), Honda (1959), Suzuki (1963)]. The predominance of the Floyd Clymer Japanese motorcycle manuals were either reprints or compilations of the factory publications which today makes them more desirable than the current aftermarket manuals.
Porsche 914/4 & 914/6 1970-1976 Workshop Manual
312 pages and more than 600 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. When the new Porsche 914 was announced in 1969 (as a 1970 Model), Floyd Clymer had already published a number of Porsche and VW manuals. Those publications included manuals for the Porsche 356 and 912, the VW Beetle, the 1500cc/1600cc Square-back/Hatch-back and the Transporter/Bus. Consequently, it was no surprise that Floyd would begin preparation of a 914 shop manual. Floyd was able to complete the Porsche 914 manual in record time, mainly because he was able to re-use most all of the 'mechanical' pages from his previously published Porsche and VW manuals. The only entirely 'new' section that he had to prepare was a chapter for the body components as they were uniquely different from any previous Porsche or VW model. Unfortunately, due to his untimely passing in early 1970 the 914 manual, although complete, remained unpublished and obviously, it only covered the early 914/4 1.7 liter and the 914/6 2.0 liter engines. We have taken that original manual and updated the information to cover the later 4 cylinder 1.8 liter and 2.0 liter models through 1976. While much of the general data is shared between both the 4 and 6 cylinder 914 variants, owners of the 6-cylinder 914 model are encouraged to read any individual chapter in its entirety, as it may include information that is specific to the 6-cylinder version.
The California Rat Years
This volume is dedicated to.....The Rats. That's right. Whether it's a nasty Rat Bike, a gnarly Rat Rod or a dilapidated Rat Car, these are the Rat Vehicles we love that transport us from Point A to Point B. Maybe our Rats are dependable, and maybe they ain't all that dependable.That's all part of the fun and excitement of having a Rat and keepin' it goin' down the road, often much to everyone else's surprise.I also hafta mention the fine California folks that made this part of the Rat Life is extra fun. From my original California ridin' partner, another transplanted Texan Oakland Steve (RIP) to California native Frisco Dave, who is still with us and still ridin' to Kent & Lori, where ever they are today. And a special thanks goes to the shop crew at Frisco Choppers, Dudley Perkins and Corvette Corner. All those wonderful shops are just special memories today, for those fun shops are sadly long gone today.And last, I gotta give a special Rat Nod to the great state of California. As a snot-nosed kid born in 1955 and raised in Dallas, Texas, I had long wished to live in wild and crazy California, enjoying that west coast bike and car scene, and I finally got to do it in the 1980s. California was a fun place to live and ride back then, before the helmet law.You wanna ride your Rat on Highway 1 and watch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean? It's there waitin' for you. You wanna ride your Rat through the Redwood Giants? They've been their hundreds of years waitin' for you to come to visit them. Whether you like gigantic tree-lined mountains, flat hot cactus-filled deserts, crashin' rivers or big lakes, rolling farmland or the wine country, California had it all.

Inclusive Transportation
Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the US face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities and cede to the automobile? In Inclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. She examines what "equity" means for a transportation project, which is central to changing how we approach and solve problems to create something safer, better, and more useful for all people. Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase. Inclusive Transportation is a call to action and a practical approach to reconnecting and shaping communities based on principles of justice and equity.

The Cars of Harley Earl

Temple has researched and unearthed the complete story of Harley Earl's cars, his notable design achievements, and many accolades.Working as a coachbuilder at his father's Earl Automotive Works in Hollywood, California, the young Earl learned his trade. After styling the 1927 LaSalle for GM president Alfred P. Sloan, this book describes how Earl rose to prominence and ran the newly created department of Art and Colour. Automobile design stagnated during the Depression and World War II, but the number of his contributions to the automotive world in the 1950s is staggering.When the jet age hit, Earl fully embraced aviation design and infused it into GM cars. The Buick Y-Job and GM Le Sabre featured many firsts in automotive design and hardware. The Y-Job's fender extensions trailing over the doors, disappearing headlamps, flush door handles, and a metal cover over the convertible top were a few innovations. When General Motors needed to show off its cars and technology, Harley Earl-designed cars were the stars of the Motorama show that toured the country from 1949 to 1961. As a titan of American auto design, the cars he helped create are still celebrated today. And as an enduring legacy, he inspired a generation of engineers, designers, and stylists.Harley Earl's drive toward bold and innovative design spurred American car design during the mid-20th century. His distinctive designs defined the 1950s finned cars and set American automotive design on the path it has followed into the modern era. With this in-depth examination, you learn the inside story of these remarkable cars and the man behind them. It's an essential addition to any automotive library.
