About this product
Product Information
How midcentury modern design and the changing roles of women in a male-dominated society influenced American postwar automotive design. This highly visual book will appeal to automotive history buffs, classic car enthusiasts, and anyone interested in midcentury fashion and design. Explore how glamour, fashion, design, and styling became the focus of automotive marketing in the postwar years. The dramatic photography, elegant fashion, and use of color and materials in midcentury automotive marketing created a groundswell of desire for new cars. Much of the marketing imagery of the period hasn't been published since it first came out, and this book features more than 400 photos, illustrations, auto brochures, and advertisements. With the expansion of the suburbs after WWII, women suddenly needed cars of their own. By adopting the fashion industry's yearly model changes, as well as hiring many designers and stylists from the fashion industry, the automobile industry made a direct appeal to the rising sophistication and influence of women. Glamour Road takes the reader on a journey, detailing how women and fashion directly influenced the traditionally male-dominated auto industry in the mid-twentieth century. Jeff Stork curates a large private automobile collection in Palm Springs, California, and Tom Dolle is an award-winning graphic designer and the creative director at Destination PSP, a product design company in Palm Springs, California. Together, Jeff and Tom produced the Cul de Sac Experience, which has become one of the most talked-about, photographed, and documented events for Modernism Week, celebrating classic cars as an integral part of modernist design.

Between confusing my tracking information for another order (making me think my package had been delivered states away), my book having completely different cover art than the image used in the eBay listing, my book not being packed well and suffering some damage, as well as the other shady behavior listed in other reviews (like my book coming from Amazon and the seller immediately jacking up the price of the original listing after my purchase), I'd say this is a shady seller to entirely avoid.

Book was as described. Charged a lot for shipping and never gave any tracking information. Also, this book was sold to me before they had it in hand apparently. A packing slip for Amazon was found with a cheaper price and later date than when I bought the book.

It’s a great book, but this one I received was not in the condition it was advertised. When it arrived, a cheaper price tag was left on it for this reason but I was never refunded the original/ higher amount that I paid for a better quality book. Seller did not resolve. Very disappointed.
