The 50 Greatest Cars of All Time by Jack R. Nerad Pdf

For some, cars are simply transportation, but for others, they are a religion and, to this group, The 50 Greatest Cars of All Time is the Bible. This book looks at the absolute cream of the automotive crop, the cars throughout history that meant something and made a difference -- from the carriagelike contrivances of Daimler and Benz to the sleek Ferrari Daytona. Illustrated with rare photographs that depict the beauty of these fine cars, the book brings to light the story behind each of these landmark vehicles. Why did Packard fall from grace as the grandest American motor car? Why was the gorgeous Cord 810 a commercial flop? More than a history, The 50 Greatest Cars of All Time is a tribute to man's attempt to build the perfect automobile.
