Auto America offers a compelling look at three decades (the 1950s, '60s, and '70s) of America's fascination with the automobile. At a time when self-driving vehicles and climate change are transforming driving around the world, John G. Zimmerman's pictures capture the optimism and even utopianism of a beloved period in American car culture.

With more than 200 photographs and drawing on the John G.
