What was life like before seatbelts? In this new book of short stories, we go back to that time in the 1940's and 1950's when America was once more on the move. Yes, things were changing.
However, this is not so much a book about cars, but rather about how cars became a quintessential part of all our lives. About how we once travelled on trolley cars, trains and taxi cabs or - walked. About how the lure of owning our very own automobile became too enticing with the freedom it gave us. And how one family in particular embraced the new car order.
Read how desperate steel strikers impacted one man's car, how door to door salesman could be a scourge or a savior, how driving lessons opened up a whole new world. Or watch what happens when a sedan flies, witness the beginnings of the space age, and much more.
The cars our families acquired over the years made a difference in our lives, giving us the freedom to make our own choices about when and where we went.
And oh, the places we went with the cars that we got. The fun that we had and the sights that we saw. The things that we did and the people we met.
