| | Amazon.com: Fifty Years of Motor Trend: Books: Motor Trend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Since the first issue rolled off the press in 1949, Motor Trend has evolved into an auto industry stalwart, documenting the current activities, interests, and, appropriately enough, trends in the automotive world. |
 | | An introductory text for each chapter segues into a huge collection of Motor Trend photo highlights, information-filled captions, and sidebars that recall significant events from the year in automobiles. |
 | | As America entered 1949, dirt roads were as common as paved ones, women often didn't drive at all, and drive-in restaurants and theaters were more novelties than integral parts of the roadside economy. |
