The Automotive Mascot Purpose Form & Function Volume Four

The fourth of four fascinating volumes presenting automotive mascots that serve a purpose beyond ornamentation. Artistically photographed and with expert narrative, the presentation is both informative and entertaining. 97 mascots are shown and most in life size. 22 French, 11 English, 57 American and 7 of other countries trace a chronology of design from 1902 to 1955. Many mascots do not appear in any other reference book. Volumes One, Two & Three are companions in this four volume set. Artistic mascots are featured and many are shown in multiple photos, combining informed text and handy references to other literature. Many photos show the mascots in life size. These books cover the subject of car mascots like no other with extraordinary color photos of rare, and in some cases, never seen examples of vintage automotive mascots and radiator art.
