DASHBOARDSby David HollandThis is a real classy car lovers's book! You, the reader, are behind the wheel of these luxurious cars, you can almost feel the buttery leather, and gleaming, waxed wood dashboard face. Sample of cars shown: Aston-Martin, Minerva, 1930 Torpedo, Bugatti, Cooper, Rolls Royce, to name a few, and all the classics too. The allure of the classic car is often palpable, and one of the quintessential features of such a handcrafted vehicle is the gleaming metal, polished wood, and padded leather of the dashboard. Whether in a single-seat racing car or a family sedan, it is here that function meets form and much of a car's individual character is expressed. In this tantalizingly illustrated album, collector and restorer David Holland places the reader behind the wheel of more than 50 cars, representing a wide array of luxury and inventiveness, from the flashy engine-turned metal of the 1937 Cord to the burled elegance of the rear-seat dashboard of the same year's Chrysler Imperial.
