On the THIRD day of Christmas my true love sent to me, THREE books on Italian automobiles…
Bellissima!: The Italian Automotive Renaissance, 1945 to 1975
Bellissima! presents some of the most breathtaking and rarest Italian-designed automobiles and motorcycles of the post-World War II era. All-new photographs featuring pioneering masterpieces by Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, and others trace a remarkable lineage of design that captivated buyers and greatly influenced mid-century industrial design, architecture, aeronautics, furniture, and fashion. Created for the privileged few, these luxurious, custom-built machines embodied speed, style, and grace and exhibited a level of artistry and craftsmanship unparalleled at the time. Today, Italian-designed cars from this era are among the most highly valued automobiles in existence.
Lamborghini Supercars: 50 Years: From the Groundbreaking Miura to Today’s Hypercars
Nearly 50 years ago, Lamborghini set the performance car world on its ear with its stunning supercar, the Miura. Twenty years after the Miura, Lamborghini again shocked the automotive world with the mad Countach. The 21st Century was Lamborghini’s creation of the Murielago, Gallardo, Reventon, Aventador, and Huracan. This wonderfully detailed book highlights the designs and engineering that made these automobiles true supercars. No enthusiast of these world-class sports cars will want to miss it!
The Ferrari Phenomenon: An Unconventional View of the World’s Most Charismatic Cars
A unique perspective. The book includes a biographical sketch of Enzo Ferrari, the lighter and lesser-known sides of Ferrari. The result is an original account that begins with young Enzo’s dreams, little-known episodes from Ferrari history, praise and complaints from drivers and famous Ferrari owners. There is also a virtual tour of the Ferrari factory, and even advice on what to see on a trip to Maranello.
On the SECOND day of Christmas my true love sent to me, TWO books on American motorcycles…
Indian Motorcycle: America’s First Motorcycle Company
Harley Davidson: The Legendary Models
