À propos de ce produit

Product Information

"When the postwar economic boom fostered such prosperity that easy credit allowed even hourly workers to plunge themselves hopelessly into debt, a brand-new car became an attainable dream for millions in the 1950s. And soon came dream cars to further stimulate their automotive saliva glands. By mid-decade, every American carmaker was parading its glittering glimpses of four-wheeled futurism before a dazzled public -- flights of styling fancy and functional wonderment blaring 'Headed for your driveway soon!' while mumbling, sotto voce, 'Don't hold us to it.' " So begins Bruce McCall's tongue-in-cheek history of Detroit's dream car era. From the author of the cult classic Zany Afternoons comes perhaps the sharpest, funniest, most original overview of Fifties culture -- and Fifties cars -- yet published. The Last Dream-o-Rama is a surrealistic satire, not just of the dream car phenomenon but of the conformist and materialistic value system that produced it. From the Quizfire 5000 Jackpot to the Nixoneer Squelchchoramic to the Bongo Beatnik Ferlinghetti TurboHipster, McCall's lavish illustrations and the antic text memorably restore the world of America in the Fifties in all its glitzy grandeur.

Reviews
"Bruce McCall'sThe Last Dream-o-Ramaoffers us a very skewed view of the Fifties and the American automobile, and with it, a comic masterpiece. It represents a special kind of evil genius. I only hope he is not found and locked up by the sanity patrol. This book is a must-have for the, uh . . . the other people like him." -- Steve Martin "Bruce McCall'sThe Last Dream-o-Ramais dreamy-o-rama. McCall is the last of the great comic illustrators. Here, truly, is a coffee-table book of the gods!" -- Christopher Buckley "The Last Dream-o-Ramais excellent in the extreme. Such is the power of America's 'Autocracy' that even today-forty years after the fact-Bruce McCall is forced to publish this book as 'humor.' We who experienced the car shows of the era and survived know better. A word of advice, Bruce: look both ways before crossing the street." -- P.J. O'Rourke

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Wonderful automotive flights of fancy

    If you're a fan of the cars of the 50s and 60s, of the old car shows like the Motoramas, you'll enjoy this book. I first was exposed to Bruce McCall's work when I saw his take on old military aircraft that failed to make the cut. Well drawn and hilarious I've enjoyed his output ever since. This book takes aim at the American obsession with the automobile and melds it with the extravagances of the concept and idea cars of the 50s and 60s. In the days before the Arab Oil embargo of the 70s and the Environmental movement along with cheaper imports helped destroy Detroit's over optimistic automotive visions, the major car companies would build forward looking concept cars equipped with futuristic styling, radar, nuclear power etc. McCall incorporates all of this into his satire of Dream cars ...

  • Weak attempt to spin a meager idea into a book. Disappointing.

    Honestly, this book was a disappointment. After "Zany Afternoons" I had high hopes but this book tries to stretch one idea far, far beyond any humor potential. What humor there is is based on cliched negative views of American culture. A few mild chuckles but although I like Bruce McCall, this work feels like the result of trying to milk an idea to meet a deadline or fulfill a contract. Now I know why it was so cheap.

  • Fun and weird

    Illustrations are fun and interesting, with amusing ‘in universe’ sales patter descriptions. Well worth a look.
