Convertibles: History and Evolution of Dream Cars
With its fascinating historical testimony, informative text and extraordinary color photographs, Convertibles is an exciting exploration of
the history of open-top cars. However, it is more than just a historical record; it is a collection of some of the most remarkable and most
beautiful convertibles ever manufactured.
The first part of the book traces the history of the convertible from its roots at the very dawn of the automatic age through its evolution to
today's open-top hot rods, discussing every important era in between, including the early models of the Roaring Twenties and the
extravagances of the 1950s and 1960s - all vividly displayed in beautiful color photographs. Then the reader is offered a window onto
the future, with a look at the automotive advancements for the convertibles of tomorrow.
The second section of the book focuses on the individual cars that have achieved seminal status for both their beauty and their design
innovations. A detailed description of each car is accompanied by a complete performance breakdown. These are the cars that have
become classics.
Convertibles is a wondrous tribute to the cars that have defined generations and is a necessary addition to the library of every car lover.
