Description: This large format hard cover book, printed on gloss art paper, tells the story of the French coachbuilders who designed and built beautiful and effective streamlined cars in the 1930s. Some were raced, some were shown with success, but all were rare beauties. The men who designed them were also rare and many failed to survive World War II, being part of the French Resistance and killed by the German occupation forces. Here is their story, well told and beautifully illustrated, in a book that will take pride of place on any enthusiast`s book shelf.
