The Classic Cars Book

A must- have for car fans and collectors:
Legends of automotive history, precious one-offs and the most popular classic cars presented in a generous format. New releases on the automotive market are primarily divided into categories such as performance or fuel consumption. Historic vehicles are treated quite differently: Classic cars are shown at important car shows from Pebble Beach to Villa d'Este. Theymay not achieve top tier values in the wind tunnel, but their timeless elegance makes the hearts of all car lovers beat faster. Photographer Ansel Adams, honorary judge at Pebble Beach, once defined it as "The kind of vehicle I want to be burried in."
From the Maserati Ghibli to the Ford Thunderbird, René Staud stages a sellection of automotive classics, sometimes discreetly and sometimes spectacularly. Jürgen Lewandowski, co-organizer and Head of the Car Selection Committee at Schloss Bensberg Classics provides well- informed texts. This combination conveys the passion for special vehicles like hardly any other illustrated book of this kind.
