This fresh take on an eternally popular subject, charts car design's evolution across centuries and continents. Packed with images, combining period photography, studio shots, and original car advertising, the book's oversized format generously displays the cars in all their remarkable detail. With captivating texts that tell stories of engineering feats, economic twists and turns, high-society lifestyles, and the desires of the masses, this book is a must-have for car and design fans of every kind.
