Veteran and vintage automobiles take us on a journey down
the roads of history to the birth, infancy, and development
of today’s indispensable, stylish and efficient automobile.
In the early days, automobiles were little more than carriages
propelled by sputtering internal combustion engines
rather than drawn by horses (frequently needed to pull broken-
down automobiles to the nearest workshop). Back then
the mechanical parts and the passengers were protected by
what to us today look like biscuit tins (usually black),
though these later took on rounded, even sculptural forms.
After the automobile made the transition from the biscuit
tin to the recognizable modern automobile the journey
speeds up and concentrates on the most important models
produced in terms of social, aesthetic and technological advances,
which usually occurred in combination. At the end
of this text-and-illustrations journey, there is a peek into the
future to see what types of vehicles will be sitting outside
our homes in the years to come. From dream cars to road
cars, this book brings together pictures and descriptions of
the most stirring blends of technology, art, beauty and adventure.
It is a photographic journey through the history of
the world’s most beautiful automobiles.
