Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
This volume is a supplement to the well-received, two-volume Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile (2001), but it also stands alone. A survey of the history of coach building, which came to an end in the 1950s, is followed by A-Z entries for various makes. Libraries that own the two main volumes will not necessarily need to add this more-specialized one unless they are aiming for comprehensive coverage. RBB

Review
"Of all the crafts and trades involved in constructing the first motor cars, the coachbuilder was far and away the oldest....engineers might divert their spirits of invention to the car, but when it came to cladding the chassis with a body, it was on the skills and tradition of the coachbuilder that they depended". From the Foreword by Brian Sewell

5.0 out of 5 stars Splendid Book, March 3, 2006
By William Kreiner (HAWTHORNE, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book describes all known coachbuilders. During the automobile's classic age, vehicle manufacturers offered bare chassis for the purpose of having coachbuilt bodies mounted on them. The coachbuilders who built these bodies created true works of art. Anyone interested in this fascinating segment of history is urged to buy this book. It is truly worth the price.
