American Iron: The Cars That Defined American Mobility
Here is a rationale for what may be termed the American automotive heartbeat, and a brief history of the American automotive industry. Our cars continue to define our lives in very special ways. Presented here is an explanation of perhaps the two foremost reasons in the mindset of American culture, for our continuing interest in automobiles. Viewing different manufacturers and different time periods, we can still see a common thread running through our cultural perspective. Two criteria seem to appear in most every case, pointing to the difference between the ordinary and the exceptional examples of the automobile. What is our attachment to these machines? And how can it be the same despite the apparently dissimilar vehicles of yesteryear and today? Our attachment is the same despite the differences between a 1904 Stoddard-Dayton and a 2004 SUV.

Nash, Hudson and American Motors: Demise of the Independent Automakers
Read part one in a two-part series on the demise of the so-called independent automakers in America. The industry developed into the haves and the have-nots, and the big boys grew as the others faded into oblivion. The last of the independents is now gone, leaving us only the big three of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. The story of the decline of the independents can be told in the story of the decline of American Motors Corporation, and of the companies that went into the makeup of American Motors.
