An inside look at the auto industry.
An inside look at the auto industry.
I just found a copy that had a dust jacket!
From the inside dust jacket:
This is the inside, exciting novel of a giant industry, its men and women, their lives, ambitions, successes, treacheries, ideals, disaster, and their loves.
It is a story told on many levels:
- of plush executive suites;
- of assembly plant jungles, breeding violence and despair;
- of the way a new model car is created, and how those "in the know" make sure they get a good one;
- of secret design studios which outsiders would like to know about, but don't;
- of shady auto dealerships where the public and manufacturers get fleeced;
- of auto racing, its people, and the car men's credo: Win on Sunday, sell on Monday;
- of auto advertising: its fakery and waste; and of the press and air pollution;
- of Unions;
- of Detroit's inner city, its tragedies and civic shame;
- of crime, and the Mafia's evil fingers in the auto world;
...and more, much more, in fast-paced WHEELS - the most complete and fascinating novel ever written about this vital, virile scene.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
I need to clear some shelf space, so I'm packing some of my older books to sell in a garage sale. I'm going to donate the unpurchased books to charity, either Goodwill or the Midlands Literacy Center.
