Select Bibliography 1.0 on the History of the Automobile and American Life -- Journals

I am working on pulling together materials as I start cleaning my office.  This bibliography of journal articles is far from complete or definitive, but a work-in-progress and that is why I have designed it version 1.0. Updates will come and this post will be deleted as I continue my effort to consolidate files. I hope it proves of use to the student and researcher.
