Automobiles are an essential part of life for many, but few really understand how that car arrives in their garage in the first place. This book takes an exciting look at just how interesting that process is, from the design phase in an engineer's office to the floor of a factory where it is assembled piece by piece by both people and machines. Full-color photographs bring the process to life in vivid detail, and a step-by-step how-to guide explains how readers can even build their very own model car.
