Fifty Cars That Changed the Course of History

By Simon Heptinstall

Fasten your seatbelt for an ultimate drive with the cars that have reshaped our world. These 50 period snapshots of world history over the last 150 years are not just about pistons and panels; they're amazing stories of heroic people and extraordinary events.

From Bertha Benz stealing her husband's Motorwagen to Leonardo DiCaprio driving up a Hollywood red carpet in a Toyota Prius, this book explains not just what these cars were - but why they really mattered.

It's Henry Ford putting a Model T in every driveway. It's the VW Beetle transforming from Hitler's pet into a peace-and-love icon. It's the Beatles in a Mini Cooper during Swinging Sixties London and Steve McQueen cruising San Francisco in his Ford Mustang.

The mix of entertaining expert narrative and spectacular images brings these cars to life and creates an impressive catalogue of style, influence and personal achievement. Fifty Cars That Changed The Course of History is cultural and automotive history at full throttle.
