4 Stars for The Driving Machine: A Design History of the Car (audiobook) by Witold Rybczynski read by Lyle Blaker.
It was interesting to hear another view of how car design has evolved. The author seems to have a fondness for European cars and included many popular designs. And of course many American cars were highlighted too. The author did a fine job of describing the cars and their design characteristics and I’ve seen most of the cars that were described but there were a few cars that I just couldn’t remember what they looked like and I was wishing that I could see a picture. I guess that’s a problem with audiobooks. I really wouldn’t recommend this audiobook for anyone who isn’t already familiar with automotive design.
