Sixty diverse cars, sixty fascinating stories, sixty contrasting specifications, but just one uniting factor: they're all forgotten, neglected or misunderstood classics. In this engaging new book, these casualties and sideshows of motoring history from around the world finally get the recognition they deserve. Revisit daring new designs, interesting new economy cars, affordable sports cars, and some extraordinary luxury cars, from post-war austerity to the you've-never-had-it-so-good era, during which these elusive machines briefly shone. It was a time when engines gained more power, suspension became more cosseting, the chassis frame became a thing of the past, and styling followed jet fighters and space rockets. Giles Chapman, award-winning author of Lost Cars of the 1970s, has gathered together an all-new selection of intriguing strays of the car world, superbly illustrated with rarely-seen archive and contemporary images that bring all these cars back to life... even if they misfire once again in the process!
