Ultimate Auto Album: An Illustrated History of the Automobile

Drawn from Burness' syndicated "Auto Album" newspaper columns, these entries describe 497 cars from the first 200 years of automotive history, beginning with the 1784 Murdock steamer. Each entry consists of a black and white line drawing marking key features of the car, and a narrative description of the vehicle, its engineering, specifications, aesthetics, and price.
