This authoritative selection of articles and full-color photographs derived from AUTOMOBILE Quarterly represents an international honor roll of the world's most significant automobiles of all classes - antique, classic, special-interest and sports/racing cars.
Combining a galaxy of sensational cars with painstaking research and incisive writing, the book achieves excellence on the twin levels of outstanding subject matter and expert approach. Some of its cars, like the Ruxton, the Chadwick and the Doble, have been included because they represent a technological or design advancement. Others -the Taylor Steam Buggy, for example - appear because they form a meaningful part of our automotive heritage. The really exotic cars - de Tomaso Mangusta, Bertone Carabo and HispanoSuiza - have been included, along with such perennial favorites as Chrysler, Packard, Ford and Rolls-Royce - and a kaleidoscopic assortment of the whimsical (Adams-Farwell, Pungs-Finch), the patrician (Pierce-Arrow, Bugatti), the rakish (M.G. TC), the nostalgic (Duesenberg), and the revolutionary (Pininfarina's brilliant design exercise, the Modulo).
Over two hundred pages in full color-including nearly three hundred color photographs - describe and illustrate these, rare, unique, exciting and prize-winning automobiles selected for this book. The illustrations represent the distinguished work of master automotive photographers. These stunning illustrations are integrated with the informative and lively stories. Carefully researched and colorfully written, the text represents a panorama of the work of authors who are top experts in their fields: noted automotive historians, contemporary designers, researchers and other contributors to AUTOMOBILE Quarterly. The editors have adapted these outstanding articles from the magazine, revising, condensing, streamlining and sometimes combining, them so as to describe, in concise, authoritative form the history and individuality of a world of great marques.
Handsomely designed and printed, AUTOMOBILE QUARTERLY'S WORLD OF CARS is a book that will give countless hours of pleasure and valuable information to anyone interested in cars, and is the ideal gift for any automotive enthusiast.
