Lost Cars of the 1960s ebook

What's this car? Think you know it? Take another look; is it really what you remember? The 1960s is regarded as the cradle of the classic car, but these are the tantalising ones that got away … An astonishing number of fascinating models have sidestepped nostalgia to lurk in the underground carpark of our collective memory, as you'll rediscover inside with these sixty missing marvels. Glorious pictures help relay the era, and a sprinkling of rare show cars demonstrates the Neverland of contemporary car-design thinking. In this turbulent decade, brave new engine technology was championed and then rejected; design trends suddenly exploded; and car buyers became unpredictable. The cars in this book sometimes suffered as a result – although some of them were just plain odd! Lost Cars of the 1960s is the final part of award-winning author Giles Chapman's Lost Cars trilogy, which records the unsung sideshows of motoring history from around the world.
