60 Years Behind the Wheel - The Cars We Drove in Canada, 1900-1960
"60 Years Behind the Wheel" explores the history of motoring in Canada from the early twentieth century to 1960. Featuring more than 150 vehicles owned and driven by Canadians, this illustrated book documents the evolution of car design and automotive technology over six decades.
The selection ranges from early automobiles with unusual features, such as rumble seats, to post-war models distinguished by power-operated convertible tops and prominent tailfins. Featured vehicles include the Studebaker and Lincoln-Zephyr, alongside a wide variety of other cars shown in settings ranging from showrooms to scrapyards.
Combining historical photographs with stories about Canada's automotive past, the book offers an overview of the vehicles, designs and motoring experiences that shaped Canadian car culture during the first half of the twentieth century.
