Autocade is an automotive database and a tribute to the work of the late Michael C. Sedgwick, MA (d. 1983).
His knowledge of automotive history is unparalleled, even in the age of the internet. Sedgwick was reputed to have a photographic memory and recall when it came to automotive subjects. This site, which takes no part of his work, follows his lead in providing a useful reference on automobiles, following mostly his A–Z of Cars: 1945–1970, authored with Mark Gillies and Jon Presnell. This was serialized in Classic and Sportscar in the early 1980s.
This site goes further by expanding on the time-frame and geography. Had Mr Sedgwick lived beyond his 50s, there is no doubt that books such as A–Z would have been expanded to later decades. Autocade is an attempt to do this.
Autocade is not affiliated with the Michael C. Sedgwick Trust.
