A-Z of European Coachbuilders, 1919-2000
Coachbuilding is a subject of great fascination for many automotive enthusiasts, even though the golden age of individually coachbuilt bodies is now long in the past.
From ACB of Paris (1934-91) to Zschau of Leipzig (1878-1939), by way of great names like Ghia, Erdmann & Rossi, Kellner, Pininfarina, Saoutchik and Zagato, this is an alphabetical reference guide to the major coachbuilders of western continental Europe - Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland.
The A-Z entries provide details of the history, activities and specialities of each coachbuilder, including the marques they bodied, while the book's broad time span encompasses both the great era of hand-crafted bodies and the more recent field of conversions and special bodywork. More than 450 illustrations are included, tracing the evolution of car body design though most of the twentieth century
