Motoring in the 1940s and 50s was a fascinating era,spanning from post-war austerity to the youve-never-had-it-so-good era. Engines gained more power,suspension became more cosseting,the chassis frame was rendered obsolete,and styling followed jet fighters and later space rockets. Many cars found success across the world,while others barely got off the ground and quickly vanished from our collective consciousness. In Lost Cars of the 1940s and 50s,author Giles Chapman presents an all-new selection of the intriguing strays of the car world. Rarely seen archive and contemporary images bring daring new designs,economy models,and some extraordinary luxury cars back to life,even if they misfire once again in the process.
