Synopsis
This book is for anyone who has ever owned, driven, or yearned for a superlative automobile. It is particularly for the brotherhood of those who are stirred by the beauty of a grande marque, by the excellence of an honest design skilfully realised in metal, or by the exciting individuality of a first-rate machine. In this book you will discover: 1. The fire chariots. The extraordinary beginning of the story in the 18th century. 2. The years of fulfilment. The rise of the internal combustion engine and the first real cars. 3. Early races and rallies. The quest for speed and the ordeals of endurance around the world. 4. Electric cars and steamers. Two lovely examples of automobile evolution doomed to oblivion. 5. The grandes marques. Rolls, Mercedes, Bugatti, Duesenberg, Bentley, Alfa, Daimler, Fiat and other famous names. 6. Grands Prix. International contests of yesteryear on both sides of the Atlantic. 7. Sports cars. What some of us proudly drive and many wistfully wish we could afford. 8. Links with the past. As good as new - the romance of the veteran and vintage cars. 9. Mass production. Up-to-date developments in car design and production in Europe and in the States. 10. The new golden age of racing. The thrills of the race track and the story of those who are part of them. 11. The future. Revolutionary trends and a glance into the motor industry's crystal ball.
