Book Description
Probably the reader shares the facination of much of humankind for cars or automobiles. Probably also a facination for American cars, especially the big ones with great seats. The development of automobiles started already in 1672 with the first steam engine and Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot built the first steam-powered automobile in 1769. A new era has begun with Elon Musk and the Tesla electric vehicle company that promises to diversify the world away from oil. But already Thomas Edison built an EV. We include some USA license plates but this is not an exhaustive work. The freedom of movement is cherished all over the World and we celebrate the automobile on this 4th of July 2023 and hope you will enjoy our selection of photos.

Book Description
A narrative like no other: a cultural history that explores how cars have both propelled and reflected the American experience— from the Model T to the Prius. From the assembly lines of Henry Ford to the open roads of Route 66, from the lore of Jack Kerouac to the sex appeal of the Hot Rod, America’s history is a vehicular history—an idea brought brilliantly to life in this major work by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Paul Ingrassia. Ingrassia offers a wondrous epic in fifteen automobiles, including the Corvette, the Beetle, and the Chevy Corvair, as well as the personalities and tales behind them: Robert McNamara’s unlikely role in Lee Iacocca’s Mustang, John Z. DeLorean’s Pontiac GTO , Henry Ford’s Model T, as well as Honda’s Accord, the BMW 3 Series, and the Jeep, among others. Through these cars and these characters, Ingrassia shows how the car has expressed the particularly American tension between the lure of freedom and the obligations of utility. He also takes us through the rise of American manufacturing, the suburbanization of the country, the birth of the hippie and the yuppie, the emancipation of women, and many more fateful episodes and eras, including the car’s unintended consequences: trial lawyers, energy crises, and urban sprawl. Narrative history of the highest caliber, Engines of Change is an entirely edifying new way to look at the American story.
