Add to SetSummary
Wealthy buyers who could afford custom bodywork always had elegant cars, but General Motors brought style to the masses when it established its styling department in 1927. By the 1950s, the stylist was king as American automakers outdid each other with increasingly flashy designs. This book highlights significant Ford design achievements, including the 1962 Mustang I Experimental Sports Car.
