Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This is the story of the classic cars, those which for many different reasons are deserving of a place in the annals of automotive history: the first cars built by Benz and Daimler at the end of the nineteenth century, the stately motors of the edwardian age, Henry Ford's Model T - 'homely as a burro and useful as a pair of shoes' - and finally, the magnificent supercars of today. Here are the great names of the past and the stories of the intrepid men to whom speed was yet another element to conquer; the first great city-to-city races and the Grands Prix of today and yesteryear. The superb, full-colour photographs record the fascinating kaleidoscope of the automobile age, the machines and the men who made them.
