Fakta

From the first gleam of postwar chrome to the velvet-trimmed survivors of the malaise era, Chrome and Glory: Steel, Style, and Speed is a sweeping, vivid history of the cars that shaped modern desire and still haunt the dreams of collectors. This is the story of the machines that did more than move people. They announced status, sold freedom, carried rebellion, and turned steel into legend.

Across three extraordinary decades, the automobile became one of the defining cultural objects of the modern world. America built tailfins, pony cars, muscle machines, and personal luxury cruisers. Europe answered with elegant GTs, brilliant small cars, and sports cars that made driving feel heroic. Japan entered the conversation with discipline, style, and a new kind of performance credibility. Along the way came race wins, design revolutions, dealer showrooms, barn finds, media myths, and the rise of the collector itself.

Written in a lively, accessible style for enthusiasts and curious readers alike, Chrome and Glory explores not only the cars collectors still chase, but the eras, ambitions, and emotions that made them endure. This is a book about horsepower and history, but also about memory, identity, and the strange permanence of old machines in a disposable age.

For anyone who has ever stopped walking to stare at a long hood, a curved fender, a bright badge, or a dashboard from another time, this book explains why.
