For automobile buffs who can never get enough information on classic cars, here is a book that features the most celebrated cars of the 60s. The 1960s was the era in which the car you drove became as much a fashion statement as the clothes you wore. In the United States, the Muscle Car craze meant huge engines grafted onto a regular chassis, producing monsters like the Plymouth Road Runner and AC Cobra. British and European manufacturers went the other way, producing everyday classics like the Mini and VW Beetle as well as world-beating sports cars like the Ferrari 330G, Austin Healey Sprite and E-type Jaguar. Looking in detail at more than 60 vehicles popular during the 1960s, Hot Cars of the 60s features over 500 color photographs, and explains the technical innovations, styling details, and everything else you may want to know on the subject.

The 1973 oil crisis forced the American automotive industry into a period of dramatic change, marked by stiff foreign competition, tougher product regulations and suddenly altered consumer demand. With gas prices soaring and the economy in a veritable tailspin, muscle cars and the massive "need-for-speed" engines of the late '60s were out, and fuel efficient compacts were in. By 1980, American manufacturers were churning out some of the most feature laden, yet smallest and most fuel efficient cars they had ever built. This exhaustive reference work details every model from each of the major American manufacturers from model years 1973 through 1980, including various "captive imports" (e.g. Dodge's Colt, built by Mitsubishi.) Within each model year, it reports on each manufacturer's significant news and details every model offered: its specifications, powertrain offerings, prices, standard features, major options, and production figures, among other facts. The work is heavily illustrated with approximately 1,300 photographs.

During the 1960s, the automobile finally secured its position as an indispensable component of daily life in Britain. Car ownership more than doubled from approximately one car for every 10 people in 1960 to one car for every 4.8 people by 1970. Consumers no longer asked "Do we need a car?" but "What car shall we have?" This well-illustrated history analyzes how both domestic car manufacturers and importers advertised their products in this growing market, identifying trends and themes. Over 180 advertisement illustrations are included.
