The American Auto Factory Witness the evolution of "The American Auto Factory" beginning with the basic hand-built assembly of cars in the earliest part of the twentieth century, through the age of the assembly line, and up to today's robotically-operated lines. Concentrating on the 1920's to 1950's, large photographs of the assembly lines in action send readers into nostalgic old factories. See the workers, the tools, the methods and the machines that combined their efforts with the ingenuity of industry players like Henry Ford, Ransomm Olds, Walter Chrysler, and others to make possible the automobile's worldwide proliferation and availability. Flash back in time to witness the factories decade by decade in never-before-published vintage photographs. Featured atomakers include Ford, GM, and Chrysler, along with smaller companies like Packard, Studebaker, and Auburn. Hardcover - 50 pages color and 200 pages b/w.
