1946-1960年的汽车Automobiles of the Chrome Age: 1946-1960

With imposing curved lines and showy pastel　hues, the automobiles of the x95os radiated the　enthusiasm and hope experienced by the United　States and much of　Europe after World War II.Tail fins reached for the sky, and wide-mouthed　grilles seemed to both smile and devour everything　in their path. It was an era when the automobile　became king, and the Buick Roadmaster, Hudson　Hornet, Chrysler 3oo, Cadillac Eldorado, and　Ford Thunderbird cruised the pristine super-highways and dotted the parking lots of new　suburban shopping malls with their brilliant
pinks, turquoises, yellows, and two-toned reds.Michael Furman's Automobiles of the Chrome　Age'. 1946-196o continues the photographic essay　of automobile design first explored in Motorcars　of the Classic Era. Featuring more than 18o stunning photographs and a visual index of technical　information, this deluxe volume captures the　exuberant beauty of these post-war vehicles.Furman's technical virtuosity and exacting eye for　detail make this collection an eye-popping　delight--one in which each spectacular European　and American car comes alive.
