Much of the marketing imagery of the period hasnt been published since it first came out, and this book features more than 400 photos, illustrations, auto brochures, and advertisements.With the expansion of the suburbs after WWII, women suddenly needed cars of their own. By adopting the fashion industrys yearly model changes, as well as hiring many designers and stylists from the fashion industry, the automobile industry made a direct appeal to the rising sophistication and influence of women.
