The book traces the emergence of German excellence, the rugged workhorse cars on which the Ford empire was built, early racing cars from Bentley, Bugatti and Alfa Romeo, the multi-cylinder philosophy pioneered by Duesenberg, Cadillac, Lincoln and Histano-Suiza, the era of flamboyant coachwork by Saoutchik and Figoni & Falaschi, the peerless creations of Maserati and Lamborghini, the 1980s and the Audi generation and the supercars of the 1990s.
