“The ‘glamorous car’ has always been one of the most marketable products of the motor industry, either has the fulfillment of a manufacturer’s dream — as in the case of the incredible Bugatti Royale, only six of which were made — or of the owner’s dream — witness the Countess diFrasso’s Rolls-Royce magnificently rebodied to Dutch Darrin’s specifications.

Favre/ Ferrari, Maserati, Packard, Hispano-Suiza, Cunningham — Glamorous Cars examines their claims and the claims of others to have produced unforgettable machines, and the stories behind the inspiration of the makers, the cars themselves and the inspiration they still give today.”  (> from the back cover)
