Gaston Grummer The Art Of Carrosserie

Product description

The years between the two World Wars was an extraordinary period for the French luxury car trade and during this time, Carrosserie Gaston Grümmer was one of the leading coach building houses in Paris. Thanks to recently discovered and previously unpublished archives, his son, Philippe Grümmer, in association with one of the best French automotive historians, Laurent Friry, takes us back to this glorious period during the “Roaring Twenties” recalling the major events of the Concours d’Elégance and Les Salons de l’Auto, and describes the bodies that Gaston Grümmer produced for the chassis of around 54 manufacturers (including Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, Delage, Delahaye, Duesenberg, Ferrari, Fiat, Hispano-Suiza and more) and the hundred or so prizes which he won.
