Time-travel through the Automobile Age with a collection that puts you in the driver's seat. 20th Century Classic Cars offers a lush visual history of the automobile, decade by decade, via 400-plus print advertisements from the Jim Heimann Collection. Using imagery culled from a century of auto advertising, this book traces the evolution of the auto from horseless carriage to rocket on wheels--and beyond. With an introduction and chapter text by former New York Times automotive writer Phil Patton, as well as an illustrated timeline , this volume highlights the technological innovations, major manufacturers and dealers, historical events, and influence of popular culture on car design . Review: taschen books are as good as you are going to get - this book was brand new, and sold by speedyhen, it is a lovely book, and came a day earlier then expected and as I said above you cannot get better than Taschen books. Thank you once again for a great book. Tom Young. Review: Super bouquin - Exactement ce qu'on attend de Taschen en terme de finition et de pagination, très intéressant à lire ! Je le recommande pour le prix !

Good Buy!
Saw this book at a bookstore,however picked it up from Amazon for a significantly cheaper price, only difference was I ended up getting a smaller size book :D Good read, although the main focus tends to be on American made cars.....nice illustrations!

リーズナブルな自動車広告集
20世紀の自動車の（おそらく全てアメリカの）広告を集めた本です。 Classic Cars とありますが、1990年代の車まで載っています。1960年代まではアメリカのどでかい車が中心ですが、1970年代からヨーロッパ車や日本車のものが増えています。1970年代以降に輸入車が増えたからでしょう。 派手なテールフィンやロケットみたいなグリルで装飾したどでかい車は、今見れば無駄だらけですが、古き良き時代を感じさせます。 約16×20センチで厚さが4.5センチ位、589ページもある本で、この価格は、とってもリーズナブルだと思います（二千円未満で購入）。

Anuncios de coches antiguos en inglés, francés y alemán.
El libro es muy grueso, con tapa dura y sobrecubierta. El papel es brillante, de buena calidad. Es una colección de anuncios de coches del siglo XX en inglés, francés y alemán. Es necesario conocer estos idiomas para disfrutar de los anuncios. Cada anuncio viene exclusivamente en su idioma, no viene traducido a los otros dos idiomas. A mí el libro me ha encantado, aunque creo que lo de los idiomas puede ser un problema para mucha gente.
