abc British Motor Cars 1950s

This is a delightful compilation of facsimile 'abc' road titles which provides a startling reminder of how dramatically car design and road culture has changed.

In the 1950s and early 1960s Ian Allan Publishing produced a number of 'abc' books on motor cars of the era which today provide a nostalgic window into an age when motoring first came into reach of the majority of the population and British car manufacturers still dominated.

Three of these volumes from the 1950s are being reproduced in this facsimile abc of British Motor Cars 1950s - abc British Cars 1958, abc Sports Cars 1957 and and abc British Roads (first published June 1956). All the British car manufacturers of 1957 are included with details of the individual car makes that each offered at the time, from the humble Ford Popular built at Dagenham and available to the purchaser for £413, to the sporty new Triumph TR3, the plastic-bodied Jensen Interceptor, the Vauxhall Wyvern, the Humber Super Snipe, the Singer Gazelle and many others.

This interesting compilation provides a nostalgic glimpse of motoring in Britain in the 1950s and will bring back memories of childhood days for many readers.
