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.
