Description
A ground-breaking survey of more than 650 of the most exceptional cars ever designed, organised geographically.
The Atlas of Car Design is a global survey of the world's greatest car designs, featuring more than 650 of the most revered (and occasionally reviled) models, from more than 190 manufacturers and more than 30 countries. Organised geographically and then chronologically by decade, the book covers more than a century of exceptional and noteworthy car design - from Japanese cult classics, French Art-Deco masterpieces, German iconic models, Italian icons, and British performance machines, to American styling sensations, and pop culture and family favourites.
This fresh take on an eternally popular subject charts car design's evolution across centuries and continents. Packed with images, combining period photography, studio shots, and original car advertising, the book's oversized format generously displays the cars in all their remarkable detail.
With captivating texts that tell stories of engineering feats, economic twists and turns, high-society lifestyles, and the desires of the masses, this book is a must-have for car and design fans of every kind.
