British Family Cars of the 1950s and '60s by Anthony Pritchard
With the end of the Second World War it was not long before increasing wealth, cheaper cars, and social pressures made a family car the aspiration of thousands. Ford, Hillman, Standard, Morris and Vauxhall became household names, and the streets of Britain's suburbs began to fill with modern-looking saloon cars, designed to transport mother, father and 2.4 children with ease, if not speed. This highly-illustrated book looks at the British cars that were available to the post-war family, and also some of the foreign makes that had an important place in the market, and which had a great influence on the British-made cars that followed.
Anthony Pritchard grew up during the years covered by this book and he remembered the cars with great nostalgia and enthusiasm. A lawyer by profession, he was also a highly regarded motoring historian who wrote authoritative racing histories.
