Product description
The book aims to provide restorers with general historical references regarding the technique, manufacturing methods and aesthetic canons existing at the time when the vehicle was conceived and manufactured, focusing the exhibition on the large-scale car with a gasoline engine.
After a brief introduction to the attempts made in the years preceding the birth of the automobile, the book describes the main stages of its technical evolution and its manufacturing methods, also because the oldest ones are very similar to those that the modern restorer must know to carry out his activity.
The book is completed with a description of the evolution of the style that, although deeply linked to the previous aspects, has proven to be a driving element of the spread of the automobile, so much so that it is often its main motivation for purchase. The authors hope that the possibility of finding this synthesis in a single book, can be useful to future restorers and can also stimulate all enthusiasts of this particular sector to read.
