An introductory text for each chapter segues into a huge collection of Motor Trend photo highlights, information-filled captions, and sidebars that recall significant events from the year in automobiles. The result is a highly nostalgic and thoroughly informative look back at a half century of automotive milestones and publishing excellence.
