This book is written to tell the true story behind the collection, and also to rehabilitate the Schlumpf family.The book is beautifully illustrated with some rare photographs, and features many of the beautiful cars that make up the Schlumpf collection. This fabulous collection of cars was brought together by two French brothers, Hans & Fritz Schlumpf, and consists of hundreds of the most beautiful cars ever produced.
