Oldsmobile
For more than a century, Oldsmobile stood at the forefront of the American automotive experience-pioneering assembly line production, launching the iconic Rocket V8, and introducing technologies that shaped an industry. From the bustling streets of early Lansing to the futuristic lines of the Toronado and Aurora, Oldsmobile charted a path defined by ambition, adaptability, and engineering brilliance. Yet, even as it drove millions of Americans forward, the brand ultimately fell victim to shifting markets and corporate realignments, quietly exiting the stage in 2004.This richly detailed narrative revives the story of Oldsmobile's rise, triumphs, challenges, and lasting influence. Through the eyes of engineers, workers, enthusiasts, and everyday families, Oldsmobile: America's Forgotten Innovator reveals not just a history of remarkable cars, but a reflection of American culture and ingenuity. The legacy of Oldsmobile lives on in the technologies we use, the stories we tell, and the spirit of innovation that still drives the open road.

A World History of Mobility
As a tool of globalized mobility, the carprovides a useful barometer for charting the global development of socio-cultural, economic, technical, and political modernization. Shaped by prevailing gender and racial norms and popularized by a Western-driven car culture, it is a commodity whose access and use embodies wider inequalities. In this comprehensive world history of (auto)mobility, Gijs Mom draws upon his extensive research into the field to assess the past and present of road cultures, and hypothesize their future. Ranging from the impact of climate change to decolonization, this volume spotlights how profoundly 'automobilism' impacts our sense of identity and imagination.

Arsenal of Democracy
Examines the role of the American automobile industry in producing vehicles, weapons, and other war products during World War II. Throughout World War II, Detroit's automobile manufacturers accounted for one-fifth of the dollar value of the nation's total war production, and this amazing output from "the arsenal of democracy" directly contributed to the allied victory. In fact, automobile makers achieved such production miracles that many of their methods were adopted by other defense industries, particularly the aircraft industry. In Arsenal of Democracy: The American Automobile Industry in World War II, award-winning historian Charles K. Hyde details the industry's transition to a wartime production powerhouse and some of its notable achievements along the way. Hyde examines several innovative cooperative relationships that developed between the executive branch of the federal government, U.S. military services, automobile industry leaders, auto industry suppliers, and the United Automobile Workers (UAW) union, which set up the industry to achieve production miracles. He goes on to examine the struggles and achievements of individual automakers during the war years in producing items like aircraft engines, aircraft components, and complete aircraft; tanks and other armored vehicles; jeeps, trucks, and amphibians; guns, shells, and bullets of all types; and a wide range of other weapons and war goods ranging from search lights to submarine nets and gyroscopes. Hyde also considers the important role played by previously underused workers-namely African Americans and women-in the war effort and their experiences on the line. Arsenal of Democracy includes an analysis of wartime production nationally, on the automotive industry level, by individual automakers, and at the single plant level. For this thorough history, Hyde has consulted previously overlooked records collected by the Automobile Manufacturers Association that are now housed in the National Automotive History Collection of the Detroit Public Library.
Convertible Summers
From dusty horseless carriages to sleek electric roadsters, Convertible Summers charts the sweeping history of America's most romanticized automobile: the convertible.

Across fifteen richly detailed chapters, readers journey through every era of open-air motoring-from roaring '20s roadsters and postwar dream machines to muscle-bound cruisers, nostalgic revivals, and today's niche electric concepts.Along the way, the book revisits iconic models like the Chevrolet Bel Air, Ford Mustang, Cadillac Eldorado, and Mazda Miata, all while examining the social, economic, and engineering forces that shaped the convertible's rise, fall, and rebirth. With its compelling blend of automotive history and cultural reflection, Convertible Summers is not just a chronicle of cars-it's a tribute to the joy of the open road and the enduring American desire to drive under a boundless sky.
