Description:
The Cadillac Story: The Postwar Years is a detailed historical account of the Cadillac automobile company and its pivotal role in the American automotive industry following World War II. Rather than simply recounting car models, the book places Cadillac’s development within the broader context of 20th-century U.S. industrial and cultural history. It explores how Cadillac helped shape the luxury car market, reflected America’s postwar prosperity, weathered the challenges of industrial decline in the 1980s, and adapted to growing international competition. Through narrative and illustrative material, Bonsall shows how Cadillac’s successes and struggles mirror those of American industry as a whole, offering both automotive enthusiasts and history readers insight into this iconic brand’s influence and evolution.
