AMERICA ON WHEELS, THE FIRST 100 YEARS: 1896-1996
by Frank Coffey and Joseph Layden (General Publishing Group, Inc., 304 pages, $40.00).
Published as a companion to the three-hour PBS special “America on Wheels,” this book traces the ways in which the automobile has changed life since the first gasoline-powered vehicle was sold in the United States in 1896. The nation’s love affair with the car is illustrated through rare photographs, advertisements, cartoons, and handsome black-and-white and color photographs.
