A landmark exposé of American corporate power and the automotive industry, On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors presents high-flying executive John Z. DeLorean's uncensored, inside perspective on the internal workings, boardroom politics and executive culture of GM. Written by investigative automotive journalist J. Patrick Wright and published in 1979 by Wright Enterprises in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, this hardcover volume became an instant, controversial bestseller.

The book pulls back the curtain on the fourteenth floor of General Motors headquarters, detailing DeLorean's rise through Pontiac and Chevrolet, the genesis of the Pontiac GTO, the engineering compromises behind the Chevrolet Corvair and Vega, corporate safety debates and catastrophic management blunders. It offers a firsthand critique of bureaucratic inertia, questionable business ethics and corporate conformity that ultimately prompted DeLorean to resign and pursue his own sports car venture.

A historical document for automotive historians, muscle car fans, DeLorean enthusiasts and collectors of vintage business literature.
