A paean to American ingenuity and craftsmanship, this new book is both the most complete survey available of 20th-century American cars and a glorious, nostalgic photographic portrait of the icons of roadside America. Lucinda Lewis has created a breathtaking armchair spin through America's fabulous and fast-fading roadside culture. Lewis's evocative tribute takes us deep into the heart of 20th-century American history and folklore. With quotes from those who traveled our fabled highways, she vividly portrays, along with the great American cars, the neon-drenched diners, drive-in movie theaters, and last-chance gas stations that once peppered our landscape, as well as the mesmerizing attractions of Route 66, the Mother Road made famous by Steinbeck and Kerouac. Many of these, sadly, no longer exist, but fortunately Lucinda Lewis's camera has preserved them forever.
