From the very first "horseless carriages" to next year's latest and sleekest new models, the automobile has always been beguiling: It is an engineering marvel, a potent cultural symbol, a machine that is equal parts industry, art, and free-wheeling dream. If ever anything was truly "more than the sum of its parts," it's the automobile, and the 80 wonderful photographs collected here capture its many moods.

With photographs of people and their vehicles past and present, Cars is a delightful and entertaining road trip down memory lane.
