binding, white interior paper (80# weight), full-color
interior ink, white exterior paper (100# weight),
full-color exterior ink

As I was researching
the coverage of dash panels in manufacturers' press
materials and brochures, a curious pattern emerged. Unless
the dashboard or instruments introduced a new technology,
dashes were rarely covered or photographed. Even rarer was
the presence of an illuminated dash. That became the
subject of this book with over 110 photographs. |

The
Couture Car - High Style for High
Society
Color Pages
By James Kaster
Paperback
List $32.95
People like shiny things. Few things are shinier than new
cars: paint, trim and chrome. And people like soft things,
like pillow-top beds, overstuffed sofas and recliners. These
home trends translated into car styles as people wanted to
make more of a statement in their vehicles. They got it in
generous doses of style via the Couture Car.

The Personal Luxury Car
- Selling a Lifestyle
Color Pages
By James Kaster
Paperback
List $37.95
As the car market proliferated with many
styles, makes and functions, one particular trend elevated the
automobile above the mere transportation-only, family-hauling
and / or workhorse appliance. It was the “Personal Luxury
Car.” Affordable cars could be crafted and massaged into
status symbols for the masses while luxury cars could be
similarly fashioned into a rarer form of distinction.

Lincoln Versailles
Color Pages
By James Kaster
Paperback
List $59.95
A
new breed of Lincoln arrived in the spring of 1977. This new
"international sized" Lincoln was Ford's response to
increasing competition from European luxury makes and the
successful introduction of the Cadillac Seville. It was also a
response to consumers' demands for more fuel efficient cars during
a decade of oil embargoes, rising gasoline prices and federally
mandated CAFE standards. Despite its meager origins, the Lincoln
Versailles offered superb comfort and convenience in the luxury
compact class. Following Cadillac's lead with the Seville, Lincoln
priced the Versailles higher than the rest of the line. In this
book, read about the history, compare facts and features, browse
through media kits and brochures, see dealer product comparisons,
view customized models, and even build a paper model.
