Flamboyant fins, acres of chrome and a burbling V-8 under the hood - the fabulous 1950s was a time when every car had a personality of its own. The American car industry virtually reinvented itself in this period as it evolved from prewar rehashed designs in the early 1950s to high-style, high-performance cars by decade's end. Each chapter examines a different theme addressing such subjects as: technical innovations, the importance of style, racing, independent carmakers, the hot rod and custom movements, social and cultural trends and their impact on the auto industry.
