How about this:

"The Evolution of the Automobile: An Insider's View", on sympoz.com:

<http://www.sympoz.com/class/The-Evolution-of-the-Automobile-An-Insiders-View
/13.html>

George Mason University offers Course HIST 333-001: "The Automobile in the
US"

<http://historyarthistory.gmu.edu/courses/2542/course_sections/8561>

And a survey of the various ways many history texts cover automotive history:

"Beyond the Textbook: The Rise of the Automobile"
