June 10, 2012: Just finished reading the book. Excellent excellent book!
Interesting dialog on how many vehicles came to be, with interesting asides and tangents on all the stories, great read.
Highly Recommended!
- Some of the chapters cover such things as:
- From the Model T, Henry Ford, & Mass manufacturing to The Lasalle, Alfred Sloan & Mass marketing!
The Corvette, Playboy and sex appeal
Beetle Bug,
Cadillas & the race for the biggest Tail Fin!
Corvette
Corvair (and how it made Goerge W President (hint: Ralph Nader, Unsafe at Any Speed, in later years lets his ego get the best of him and runs for President?! in 2000, Nader got 95,000 votes in Florida, what was the difference between Bush v Gore? , around 1800 votes??!!)
the Mustang,
Delorean and the GTO
Minivans,
BMW's
The Jeep
Ford F-series Pickup (do you know it was the NUMBER ONE SELLING Vehicle for 33 straight years??!! )
The Prius
