Model T by David Weitzman Pdf

Somehow Henry Ford knew what Americans were hankering for: “Everybody wants to be someplace he ain’t. As soon as he gets there, he wants to go right back.” And so, he pioneered the Model T–the first affordable car for the masses. David Weitzman has meticulously documented the development of the assembly line and the many innovations and adaptations Ford put to use in making his famous Tin Lizzy. When the Ford plant first opened, the crew could make 18,000 cars a year at a cost of $950 each. In just ten years, they had refined the process enough so that they could build one million cars in a year and the price had come down to about $350. Filled with detailed black-and-white drawings, helpful text and captions, and fascinating quotes from Ford employees, this elegant book gives young readers a look at a mechanical genius in action.

The Ferrari Legend by Antoine Prunet Pdf

This epigram, usually applied to horse racing, could have equally been devised for Enzo Ferrari and the men of Maranello whose cars bear the badge of the prancing horse. With 23 World Championship titles behind them, the sleek and powerful Italian cars have established a record second to none. Ferrari Sports, GT and pure racing cars have forged an incomparable reputation over the years, and it is largely the expertise born of this experience which has made their road going equivalents so prestigious and desirable. From the Tipo 125 Sport of 1946 to the 308, Ferrari have made more high performance cars - over 500 variants - than any other marque. Some are legendary, such as the 250 GT, the Daytona or the Berlinetta Boxer, but many older models are often forgotten, some now almost totally unknown. In this lavishly illustrated and superbly produced book (as only befits one about such a superb marque), Atoine Prunet examines each of the road cars in detail. Containing 450 pages and over 500 illustrations - many in full colour - The Ferrari Legend pays due tribute to the designers and engineers of Maranello as well as to the coachbuilders who have made them so visually dramatic and appealing.
