Road Masters: 150 Cars That Changed the World

Road Masters offers a fun and informative overview of the five most important cars from the major car-makers around the world.

Author Dave Morley applies his industry knowledge, signature story-telling and distinctive humour to weave a memorable tale about the top models from all the major manufacturers that changed the automotive experience, in one way or another. Most top car books have been dry, fact-laden dirges that read like classified ads. This book is about the emotions involved in each car and where the makers got it right. And wrong.

Featuring all the major manufacturers, plus smaller powerhouses, the book includes European prestige manufacturers (Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes Benz), British luxury brands (Bentley, Rolls Royce), American classics (Ford, Chrysler, General Motors), Japanese leaders (Toyota, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Honda) and many more.

Important cars are great. Great cars are important.

About the Author

Dave Morley is a motoring journalist who has road tested every Holden and Ford (and pretty much anything else on the road) built in Australia since 1986. His passion for the subject matter has also seen him track down the Falcons and Kingswoods he was too young to drive professionally, and give them a walloping as well. Dave has owned a variety of both Ford and Holden cars over the years and remains a front-bar leper by refusing to nominate one brand over the other, believing them both to be capable of stupidity, short-sightedness, ignorance and world's-worst-practice. But when they get it right, both Holden and Ford have produced some truly inspiring cars. And Dave has the speeding tickets to prove it.
