Synopsis
From incorporation to financial insolvency in 1926, this is the first book to offer the complete story of the Lexington Motor Company as well as the related Howard and Ansted cars. Detailing company history within the context of the American industrial revolution, it follows the upstart manufacturer from initial choice of property, factory design and name selection, through relocation, World War I, ventures into auto racing, and finally a takeover by Auburn in 1927., Lexington, a smaller marque that twice won the famous hill climb at Pikes Peak, produced its first car in 1909 in its namesake city of Lexington, Kentucky. The manufacturer's story is fascinating. (Lexington, for example, was a leader in the use of color in magazine advertising and factory literature, and the company used advertisements to support contemporary issues like women's suffrage.) Lexington relocated to Connersville, Indiana, in 1910, with promised municipal perks such as advanced facilities, free water, and no local taxes for five years. From incorporation to insolvency in 1926, this is the first book to offer the complete story of the Lexington Motor Company as well as the related Howard and Ansted cars: from choice of property, factory design and name selection, through relocation, World War I, auto racing ventures, and a 1927 takeover by Auburn. Detailed automotive specifications and options are given, along with information on surviving Lexingtons. More than 250 photographs depict the communities, cars and people associated with the Lexington.

- e***_ (17)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
- 0***i (5)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéThe first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
