V. E. Smith is an appealing early motoring guide from a period when driving was still a relatively new skill for many motorists, and when the book's earnest title carried entirely practical intent rather than any modern interpretation. Offering instruction on the proper operation, maintenance and handling of the motor car, the work reflects the rapidly developing culture of private motoring in the interwar years. Illustrated throughout and written in an accessible instructional style, it provides an engaging snapshot of early twentieth century automotive practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDrive Your Car Correctly, by L.V.E.
