GLAMOUR ROAD: COLOR, FASHION, STYLE, AND THE MIDCENTURY AUTOMOBILE
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.
This highly visual book will appeal to automotive history buffs, classic car enthusiasts, and anyone interested in midcentury fashion and design.
Main features:
- Explore how glamour, fashion, design, and styling became the focus of automotive marketing in the postwar years.
