Packard
For decades, Packard stood as the undisputed symbol of American luxury, engineering brilliance, and understated refinement. From its beginnings in Ohio at the dawn of the automotive age to its rise as one of Detroit's premier automakers, Packard captured the imagination of the public and the respect of engineers around the world. Its cars graced the driveways of presidents, titans of industry, and discerning drivers who sought excellence without compromise.But as the American automobile industry shifted in the postwar years, Packard faced challenges it could not overcome-fierce competition, changing consumer tastes, and the brutal realities of industrial consolidation. The company's eventual merger with Studebaker and its quiet disappearance marked the end of an era.Packard: Ask the Man Who Owned One charts the complete history of this remarkable company in meticulous, narrative-driven detail. From breakthrough innovations and world wars to design triumphs and boardroom missteps, this book paints a vivid portrait of one of the most storied names in motoring history-and the enduring legacy it left behind.
The MG Mongoose
In the shadowed workshops of postwar Oxford and the roaring trials of Brooklands, a revolution was quietly forged in metal, grease, and grit. The MG Mongoose tells the story of how a self-made engineer named Cecil Kimber turned a sideline sales outfit into MG-a brand that would come to define the very soul of the British sports car. This fact-based narrative follows the marque's journey from hand-built specials to world-class roadsters, revealing how MG captured the imagination of drivers across generations.Through boom and bust, from the MGA's sleek postwar curves to the electric future embodied in the Cyberster, MG's story is one of resilience, ingenuity, and a stubborn belief that driving should stir the heart. With detailed accounts of record runs, racing glory, industrial shifts, and grassroots fandom, this is the definitive chronicle of a brand that never forgot its roots-even as the world around it changed.Whether you're a lifelong MG enthusiast or new to the legend, this book offers a vivid portrait of the men, machines, and moments that turned a humble garage into a global symbol of motoring joy.
Drive Without Boundaries
In the summer of 1888, Bertha Benz made history by becoming the first person to complete a long-distance journey in an automobile-without permission, without precedent, and without backup. While Carl Benz held the patent, it was Bertha who put his invention to the test, driving over 100 kilometers with her two sons from Mannheim to Pforzheim and back, along dusty roads, steep hills, and skeptical townsfolk. Her trip was more than a mechanical trial-it was a triumph of vision, courage, and resolve.Drive Without Boundaries tells the remarkable, fact-based story of Bertha's pioneering journey in vivid detail, from the invention of the Benz Patent-Motorwagen to the challenges and breakthroughs she faced on the open road. With a focus on technical accuracy and historical context, this narrative charts Bertha's quiet revolution in a world that was not ready for her-and how her determination launched not only a vehicle, but an entire industry.Through road maps, roadside repairs, and relentless resolve, Bertha's drive redefined the future of travel, challenged gender norms, and proved that progress often begins not with applause, but with bold, solitary action.
Pony vs. Challenger
For nearly six decades, two cars defined the soul of American performance: the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger. More than just machines, they were symbols-of freedom, rebellion, and horsepower-fueled dreams. Pony vs. Challenger: Rivalry on Rubber is the definitive narrative of their long-running duel, chronicling how these two icons reshaped the auto industry and pop culture alike. From the Mustang's 1964 world debut to the Challenger's 2023 curtain call, this book follows their evolution through sales wars, drag strip battles, regulatory crises, and engineering breakthroughs.Every chapter is rooted in verified fact, not legend. Inside, readers will find vivid accounts of model year specifications, behind-the-scenes development, motorsport milestones, advertising clashes, and the design philosophies that made each car distinct. With clarity and detail, it reveals how Mustang and Challenger mirrored-and often defined-the mood of their time, adapting to oil shocks, emission standards, and the digital revolution without losing their roar.Whether you're a lifelong enthusiast or new to the road they helped pave, this book captures a rivalry that was never just about which car was faster-it was about which one won your heart.
Convertible Summers
From dusty horseless carriages to sleek electric roadsters, Convertible Summers charts the sweeping history of America's most romanticized automobile: the convertible. This deeply researched, narrative-driven book explores how the drop-top became a defining symbol of American freedom, innovation, and cultural identity. 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.
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.
