Por DE LA TORRE DE JUAN PEDRO
Did you know that Henry Ford came up with the idea for the production line after visiting a slaughterhouse? That before dedicating itself to the tire business, Michelin's main activity was the manufacture of rubber balls for children, and brake shoes for cars? That the origin of the Volkswagen Beetle was an initiative of Adolf Hitler to provide an affordable car to any German family? “This wasn't in my Motoring History Book” brings together a thousand and one anecdotes and curiosities that have arisen throughout the history of the automotive industry, many of them strange to the general public and even to many car enthusiasts. An enjoyable and relaxed book, which does not seek to establish any treatise on the history of motoring but rather to get a little closer to the car, that everyday object that is so present in the day to day of our lives.
