Love the New Car Showroom!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is the Best Nostalgic New Car Dealership book ever written! As a Baby Boomer I Lived in new car showrooms in the 50s, 60s, 70s to present day. As I was growing up in the 50s and 60s I couldn't wait for the Fall when all the new cars were secretly taken to the dealers awaiting the official unveiling for the world to see. I would be there on Announcement Day collecting car books and studying all the new features each car had to offer for the new model year. This Book allows me to relive those fabulous years and brings back so many wonderful memories. If you are a Baby Boomer and couldn't wait for the new cars to be displayed in the showrooms, this Book is for you! It is the Best book ever written on Car Dealerships loaded with pictures and amusing stories.
Excellent research and a wealth of information
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
An excellent source for anyone interested in the sometimes strange world of car dealers. Covers the history of car dealerships from the turn of the century to today. Chapters dealing with the design of a dealership and the history of famous and not so famous marques add to the over 130 black and white and 40 color photographs. Well written and fascinating. If you know a car nut this is the Christmas present of the year.
