Description:
xv, 350 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
Notes:
"In
Car
Crazy
, G. Wayne Miller, takes readers back to the wild and wooly years of the early
automobile
era--from 1893, when the first U.S.-built auto was introduced, through 1908, when General Motors was founded and
Ford
's Model T went on the market. As the machine transformed American culture for better and worse, early corporate battles for survival and market share transformed the economic landscape. The fiercest fight pits Henry
Ford
against Frederic Smith of
Olds
.
Olds
was the early winner in the race for dominance, but now the
Olds
empire is in trouble, its once-industry leading market share shrinking, its cash dwindling.
Ford
is just revving up. But this is
Ford
's third attempt at a successful auto company--and if this one fails, quite possibly his last. So Smith fights
Ford
with the weapons he knows best: lawyers, blackmail, intimidation, and a vicious advertising smear campaign that ultimately backfires.
Car
Wars is a page-turning story of popular culture, business, and sport at the
dawn
of the twentieth century, filled with compelling, larger-than-life characters, each an American original."
