Book excerpt: Classic Woodies: A National Treasure caters to a rapidly-growing woodie revival that is putting more of these great machines -- called the collector's car of the 1990s -- on the street and in the public eye. These rolling works of art, with their magnificent styling and lush wood detailing, have their roots in the classic coach-making tradition that extends back to the eighteenth century. Wood-framed and wood-paneled automobiles have been around as long as cars have, but the classic era of the American woodie was in the 1930s and 1940s. Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors all produced variations on the theme, and woodies became an integral part of the American lifestyle, first as a comfortable family car and then as the car of choice for surfers and beach-goers. The illustrations in this book include many archival photographs not seen in half a century, as well as contemporary color images of stock and restored woodies, with special emphasis on close-ups and details. These are complemented by authoritative, descriptive text.

Download or read book Just 30s written by Angelo Van Boggart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-12-13 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1930s might have been the greatest 10-year period in the history of the American automobile. Even in the face of a suffocating Depression, American cars continued to evolve with beautiful, streamlined designs that had never been seen before. General Motors began "face lifting" its vehicles with new styles for every model year. Hard-rubber rides were softened by balloon tires, impressive 16-cylinder engines began showing up under massive hoods and hydraulic brakes became the norm. The synchromesh transmission, independent suspension, heaters and radios made automotive journeys more comfortable than ever. It was truly a decade of advancement and achievement for U.S. car makers. In Just '30s, the publisher of Old Cars Weekly and OldCarsReport.com Price Guide celebrates this fabulous decade with a look back at the cars, and car companies, that gave us such great memories.
