  The first cars, built at the end of the nineteenth century, were slow, uncomfortable and only for the very rich. But by 1924 Ford was producing two million Model Ts a year and motoring was here to stay. Exploring the history of cars from the 1800s to the present day, this book which is one of a series, describes the impact the 35 million new cars produced every year, have had on the way we live. It explains the increased speed and efficiency of car travel all over the world and highlights the milestones in their development.
