A propos de cet article

This book which has drawings by George A Oliver traces the genealogy of the Grand Prix car from 1895 to 1956.The most important cars through the years are described and discussed in detail, while a number of "voiturettes" and many of the interesting but less successful offshoots from the main theme of development, also receive attention. The story is told in a incisive and readable manner, and yet sufficient technicalities are included to satisfy the mechanically minded enthusiast and to make the book valuable as a work of reference.The 105 illustrations include a series of 39 whole-page drawings of the outstanding designs, and a collection of carefully selected photographs showing mechanical details, the cars in action and reproducing something of the "atmosphere" of the racing circuits at all periods in the history of the sport. 288 pages. The book is in very good condition but has no jacket.
