The Story

his is the inside, exciting novel of a giant industry, its men and women, their lives, ambitions, successes, treacheries, ideals, disasters, and their loves. It is a story on many levels: of plush executive suites; of assembly plant jungles, breeding violence and despair; of the way a new model car is created, and how those 'in the know' make sure they get a good one; of secret design studios which outsiders would like to know about, but don't; of shady auto dealerships where the public and manufacturers get fleeced; of auto racing, its people, and the car men's credo - Win On Sunday, Sell On Monday; of auto advertising - its fakery and waste, and of the press and air pollution; of Unions; of Detroit's inner city, its tragedies and civic shame; of crime, and the Mafia's evil fingers in the auto world; and more, much more, in fast-paced WHEELS - the most complete and fascinating novel ever written about this vital, virile scene.
