Download or read book Airstream written by Patrick Foster and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iconic, aluminum-bodied Airstream trailers have been around for 85 years--get the full story in this photo-rich book. Airstream is America's best and oldest manufacturer of travel trailers, and those retro silver coaches are iconic on America's highways. Representative of the age-old desire to explore, these trailers are unmistakable in design with distinctive aerodynamic rounded lines and an aluminum outer skin. Airstream: America's World Traveler celebrates the eight decades since the first Airstream graced America's highways. Airstream chronicles the fascinating history of Airstream trailers through a detailed history, stories, and beautiful photography. Although its roots stretch back to 1926, the first Airstream-brand trailers were introduced in 1936, just as America was emerging from the dark days of the Great Depression. Of the 400 travel-trailer manufacturers of that era, only Airstream survived. Dubbed the "Airstream Clipper" after the first trans-Atlantic seaplane, the 1936 Airstream featured a unique lightweight aluminum body that cut down on wind resistance, improved fuel efficiency, and made for easier towing. It slept four, carried its own water supply, was fitted with electric lights, and cost $1,200. The Airstream provided travelers with a way to see the world at their leisure and in solid comfort. It was the perfect vehicle for a country emerging from a long struggle. In the eight decades since that first Airstream, the company has produced some of the finest trailers in the world and gained a worldwide reputation as the Rolls-Royce of travel trailers. The Airstream story is one of travel, adventure, and memories that last a lifetime.

Download or read book Automotive Traveler s Classic Car written by Richard Truesdell and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-09 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automotive Traveler's Classic Car is a new print-on-demand classic car publication aimed at a world-wide audience. It is inspired by the great UK motoring titles like Octane, Classic and Sports Car and Thoroughbred and Classic Car as well as US titles like Motor Trend Classic, Cars and Parts and Automobile Quarterly, all no longer published. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car hopes to fill that void. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car covers postwar cars from 1945 to 1990. While the magazine will cover priceless classics, it won't ignore more mainstream cars. This is our preview issue and the cover feature is the 1979 Le Mans-winning Porsche 935 Kremer K3. Other features include three cars from the early sixties, Chrysler's Ghia-bodied Turbine Car, a one-off, two-seat Studebaker Avanti and an elegant six-cylinder Fiat Abarth 2300S Ghia coupe. The final feature is classic American muscle, a 1969 Chevy Camaro Pace Car, but not the well-known Indy Pace Car, rather one of seven Camaros built for pace car duties at NASCAR speedways in the southeast. It is just one of the seven known to have survived. The contributing columnists to Automotive Traveler's Classic Car talk about their own classic car experiences, each in their own engaging way. TV host Lance Lambert remembers his first close encounter with Studebaker's Avanti as a 15-year-old who pedaled to his local dealership more than 50 years ago. In his car culture column, Contributing Editor Nick Guzan talks about the legendary Aston Martin DB5 made famous 50 years ago in Goldfinger. And the issue concludes with Joe Babizsz telling the story of the Swiss origins of Chevrolet, the most American of automotive brands. Unlike traditional print magazines, Automotive Traveler's Classic Car, is interactive. Embedded in almost every feature is a QR code allowing you to call up videos and slide shows on your smartphone while you're reading the magazine. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car spans the print-digital divide bringing you the best of both worlds. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car is produced for car enthusiasts, by car enthusiasts, giving you a unique reading experience that will fuel your automotive passions. Editorial Director Richard Truesdell invites everyone with comments and suggestions on the preview issue of Automotive Traveler's Classic Car to contact him directly at [email protected].

Download or read book The 1930s written by William H. Young and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-10-30 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most historical studies bury us in wars and politics, paying scant attention to the everyday effects of pop culture. Welcome to America's other history—the arts, activities, common items, and popular opinions that profoundly impacted our national way of life. The twelve narrative chapters in this volume provide a textured look at everyday life, youth, and the many different sides of American culture during the 1930s. Additional resources include a cost comparison of common goods and services, a timeline of important events, notes arranged by chapter, an extensive bibliography for further reading, and a subject index. The dark cloud of the Depression shadowed most Americans' lives during the 1930s. Books, movies, songs, and stories of the 1930s gave Americans something to hope for by depicting a world of luxury and money. Major figures of the age included Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Irving Berlin, Amelia Earhart, Duke Ellington, the Marx Brothers, Margaret Mitchell, Cole Porter, Joe Louis, Babe Ruth, Shirley Temple, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Innovations in technology and travel hinted at a Utopian society just off the horizon, group sports and activities gave the unemployed masses ways to spend their days, and a powerful new demographic—the American teenager—suddenly found itself courted by advertisers and entertainers.
