Classic Cars

Classic Cars chronicles 75 of the greatest cars from around the world, from the birth of the mass-produced vehicle through the golden postwar era.
 
There are few subjects that evoke such passion as classic cars, and this richly illustrated volume takes a fresh and informative approach to the topic. In handy pocket-sized form, it presents 75 iconic automobiles, from Henry Ford’s Model T in 1908, through the classic period of German manufacturing, and climaxing with the postwar era, with its lavish design and pink Cadillacs. Each example receives two beautiful spreads: the first showcases stunning cutout photography of the vehicle from a variety of angles, complete with detailed annotations; the second explores the history of the car, aspects of its design, and revolutionary features. Real enthusiasts will appreciate the comprehensive specification boxes containing every fact and figure imaginable, from engine size and tire measurements to top speed, weight, transmission, and steering.
