Authored by renowned automotive historian Ken Gross and curator Ronald T. Labaco, this book was published to accompany a landmark exhibition at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. It chronicles the era when automotive styling was unconstrained by modern safety or aerodynamic regulations, resulting in some of the most beautiful and extravagant vehicles ever created.
Core Content & Highlights
The Curated Eighteen: The book features 18 of the world's rarest and most brilliantly conceived cars. These include masterpieces from legendary marques like Bugatti, Duesenberg, Delage, Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche.
Star Power: Several of the featured vehicles carry incredible provenance, such as Clark Gable’s 1935 Duesenberg JN Roadster and Steve McQueen’s 1957 Jaguar XKSS.
The Evolution of Style: The text traces the transition from the opulent, hand-built French coachwork of the 1930s to the high-performance engineering triumphs of post-WWII Germany and Italy.
