{"product_id":"9780789347169","title":"Auto America : Car Culture: 1950s-1970s--PHOTOGRAPHS BY JOHN G. ZIMMERMAN","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuto America offers a compelling look at three decades (the 1950s,  60s, and  70s) of America s fascination with the automobile. At a time when self-driving vehicles and climate change are transforming driving around the world, John G. Zimmerman s pictures capture the optimism and even utopianism of a beloved period in American car culture.  Many of Zimmerman s photographs were originally taken for Life, Time, and Sports Illustrated magazines and highlight diverse aspects of America s auto industry at its zenith; they feature not only iconic cars of the era, which Zimmerman chronicled comprehensively at car shows and in studio assignments throughout the period, but also a behind-the-scenes look at the people who designed, built, collected, exhibited, and raced them.  With more than 200 photographs and drawing on the John G. Zimmerman Archive s collection including his best-known photographs of Fords, Chryslers, and GMs in their heyday alongside ephemera, tear sheets, and outtakes from his assignments the book celebrates the automobile s central place in American culture during those decades when the timeless silhouettes of classic cars ruled the roads.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55732034175352,"sku":"9780789347169","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9780789347169.jpg?v=1794267096","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780789347169","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
