By: John Heilig .
For more than 60 years, dream cars - prototype concept vehicles that introduce new styling and technology to the motoring public - have kept crowds drooling at auto shows everywhere.
Credit Buick's 1938 Y-Job for starting it all. A rolling test bed comprising sophisticated styling and many experimental features, the Y-Job established a concept car standard that nearly every automaker has followed since. Seeing a dream car slowly spinning on a glitzy auto show turntable is as thrilling today as it was in the 1950s and 1960s.
Detroit Dream Cars is your complete guide to the wonderous vehicles that toured the auto show circuit - the great GM Motorama dream cars of the 1950s, every fantastic Ford concept car built, and the wild Chrysler vehicles past and present.
Also highlighted are the show cars from the independent manufacturers such as Packard and AMC.
Illustrated with 200 black and white photographs and a special colour photo gallery, Detroit Dream Cars is sure to quicken your pulse.
For car enthusiasts everywhere, this book is a virtual auto show that you can attend again and again. Enter the motoring world of tomorrow today!
