The Story of the Car

In the early days of the automobile, a car was an adventure. Now, more than a century after the first mass-produced vehicles transformed transport and society, DK’s The Story of the Car presents the complete history of this world-changing technology — from Karl Benz and Henry Ford through the great designers and engineers who shaped the golden age of motoring, the muscle cars of the 1960s, the fuel crises of the 1970s, and the electric vehicles redefining personal transport today.

Beautiful full-colour photography, detailed technical profiles, and the stories of the people — designers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and drivers — who shaped automotive history make this a compelling read as well as a comprehensive reference. Every significant model is covered, from the Model T to the Tesla, from the Bugatti to the Mini.

The ultimate automotive history for car enthusiasts of every kind — and a fascinating account of how a single technology reshaped the world. Published by DK.
