{"product_id":"auto-america","title":"Auto America","description":"Auto America offers a compelling look at three decades (the 1950s,  60s, and  70s) of America s fascination with the automobile. At a time when self-driving vehicles and climate change are transforming driving around the world, John G. Zimmerman s pictures capture the optimism and even utopianism of a beloved period in American car culture.  Many of Zimmerman s photographs were originally taken for Life, Time, and Sports Illustrated magazines and highlight diverse aspects of America s auto industry at its zenith; they feature not only iconic cars of the era, which Zimmerman chronicled comprehensively at car shows and in studio assignments throughout the period, but also a behind-the-scenes look at the people who designed, built, collected, exhibited, and raced them.  With more than 200 photographs and drawing on the John G. Zimmerman Archive s collection including his best-known photographs of Fords, Chryslers, and GMs in their heyday alongside ephemera, tear sheets, and outtakes from his assignments the book celebrates the automobile s central place in American culture during those decades when the timeless silhouettes of classic cars ruled the roads.","brand":"Rizzoli International Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57298062639448,"sku":"9780789347169","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780789347169.jpg?v=1778838375","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/auto-america","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
