Beskrivelse
This is the black and white version of the full color "The Dashboard Book."The Dashboard Book in Black and White: American Automobile Dashboards 1899-1969 is an illustrated history with more than 400 black and white photographs and more than 160 different cars. Throughout, the styling of dashboards is related to the artistic and cultural trends of the day and the styling trends of auto exteriors. It traces the evolution of dashboards from simple wooden boards of the carriage and buggy styles of the early 1900's to the conflicting styles of the 1920's and the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne styles of the 1930's and 1940's. The excessive designs of the 1950's and the diversity of styles of the 1960's complete the volume. An exterior photo of every car accompanies each dashboard photo and description. Early instrumentation is also discussed as is the influence of the first affordable closed car. Brief histories and descriptions of dashboard accessories and controls are also included. A color version is also available.
