Explore automotive history with "The Golden Era of Classic Cars," celebrating iconic models from the early 1900s to the '60s. Rich in images, anecdotes, and technical insights, a must for enthusiasts.
There are automobiles that left no trace of their passing; they slipped into anonymity almost as though they had never existed, vanished like snow in the sun, swept away by the succession of models, version and generations. And then, instead, there are vehicles that made history, stirring the souls and thrilling the hearts not just of enthusiasts, but also the wider public. Milestones of automobiles; reference points for design, performance and fascination. Real icons of technology. Immortals. This book is dedicated to these jewels on four wheels, produced from the start of the 1900s up to the '60s Β one of the greatest periods ever from the point of view of creativity and engineering advances.
