{"product_id":"cruise-o-matic-isbn-9780811827775","title":"Cruise O Matic","description":"The 1950s were the golden age of the American automobile, and the cars were faster, bigger, and more boldly styled than ever before. Sunday driving--Cleaver-style--in the regal family Ford, Edsel or Plymouth topped the list of national pastimes; and teenagers, behind the wheels of their daddies' thundering T-birds, had fun, fun, fun across America's highways. The economic prosperity of the country made for an \"ultramatic\" boom in car manufacturing, and the advertising industry followed suit. This reprint of a Chronicle Books classic collects the \"masterpieces\" of automobile advertising, culled from the pages of such popular periodicals as \u003ci\u003eLife, The Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, Look,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHoliday.\u003c\/i\u003e Their colorful illustrations and catchy copy give these ads a \"power-packed beauty\" all their own, offering a fun look at 50s culture and values. So take a cruise down memory lane with this fond look back on a time when tail fins and chrome were the standard, and the American car was the true King of the Road.","brand":"Chronicle Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44893145170149,"sku":"NP9780811827775","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/cruise-o-matic-isbn-9780811827775","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
