Annotation: 

Automotive Industries magazine prepared this illustrated history of automotive technology in 1995 to celebrate its 100th anniversary. The site presents significant events, technological developments, and advertisements from 1895 to 1995 in ten-year increments. The more than 150 images include technical drawings, advertisements, and magazine covers, as well as photographs of vehicles, important designers, and auto plant strikes. Each image accompanies a 30- to 50-word description on developments and on Automotive Industries reportage of the past. A timeline in each section notes significant events in automotive history. Subsidiary pages are not linked, so visitors must return to the home page to visit another time period. The site is entertaining but not analytical.
