automobile, which has transformed the American way of life, is the most
indispensable workhorse of the family. During the week, the father
drives it to his job in the city, alone, or in a “car pool” arrangement with
several of his fellow workers. When he leaves it at home, his wife uses it
constantly to do errands, to haul groceries, to drive children to lessons or
appointments, to shops or swimming pools. On weekends, the family
drives out to the country for a picnic lunch or may take a trip of several
hundred miles. On vacations, no corner of the country is beyond the
family’s reach.
