The Cars You Dreamed About
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Cars of the Super Rich (subtitled The Opulent, the Original and the Outrageous) is not just another book with the latest expensive exotic cars for those of us who haven't outgrown our adolescent fantasy cars. This book from Motorbooks International is looking to put the specialty and exotic car in its historical context. Thus, in addition to the McLaren F1s, Bugatti EB110s, and Ferrari Enzos, you will also find the desirable cars of times past such as the Bugatti Royale, the Deusenberg SJ, and the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato. In addition to the historical context, you'll also find some intersting diversions into the luxury cars of Communist Russia and China (the Chaika-Gaz 13 and the Honq Qi) and a fascinating chapter entitled "Call the Taste Police", where such worthy vehicles as the Excalibur, the Panther De Ville, and the Stutz Blackhawk of 1970 reside. For both fans of auto history and those who love the 200 mile per hour club.
