But there is no ignoring the cars from Browns Lane, and in these days when it is fashionable to decry everything made in this country as shoddy and degenerate it is reassuring to find a firm young, live and British, still turning out vehicles for which demand remains unimpaired by fashion changes, recessions, and the ever-rising cost of living.

Relie, couverture pictur., 319pp., 32x23.5cm., nombr. ills. en coul. et n/b., neuf. Texte en francais. ISBN 9782352501244. An icon of its era, here is the saga of the "double chevron" from its inception through 1944. This book investigates the ways in which Citroen appealed to our French (and European) grandparents, and how Citroen became a part of daily life. You can discover Andre' Citroen's first steps in industry - his factories, advertising, and of course, his cars, from the first Type A and the 5HP to the half-tracks, trucks, and buses. Also covered are the famous "Traction," the 2CV (planned for 1939!) and the Resistance and Occupation Citroens, finished with a flourish when production resumed just after the war and Citroen experienced the immediate success of the "11." It is truly a beauty of a book, full of many unpublished photos and documents.

Die 1950er-Jahre waren eine Zeit, in der Automobile zu Ikonen wurden. Modelle wie der Buick Roadmaster, der Cadillac Eldorado oder der Ford Thunderbird setzten mit ihrem grellen Pink, Turkis oder Gelb farbige Akzente.

In gewohnt grossartiger Manier gelingt es dem heute wohl meistgefragten Automobil-Fotografen der Welt, Michael Furman, in diesem Bildband, neben fantastischen Aufnahmen in der Totalen auch die Details zu zeigen, die das jeweilige Auto auszeichnen.<br>Dieser Nachfolgeband des ausserst erfolgreichen Buches ?Klassische Automobile? besticht abermals durch seine herausragenden Fotos. <br>So werden sowohl die bekannteren Seitenansichten des 1951er Buick LeSabre oder des 1959er Firebird III als auch die beruhmte Heckflosse des 1959er Cadillac Eldorado Seville oder die wunderschone Kuhlerfigur des 1947er Nash Ambassador Suburban gezeigt. Selbst die grossten Automobil-Liebhaber werden diese makellosen fahrbaren Schonheiten durch die Linse Furmans in einem vollig neuen Licht sehen ? sei es das Rucklicht des 1956er De Soto Adventurer oder der Tankverschluss des 1959er Fiat Abarth Record Monza Bialbero Zagato.<br>Chromjuwelen ist eine eingetragene Marke der Chromjuwelen Agentur fur Motorkultur (http://chromjuwelen.com)<br>Dieser prachtige Bildband fangt in rund 180 fantastischen Farbfotos die ganze Schonheit der Automobile der Nachkriegszeit ein und wartet daneben mit einer vom Autor verfassten Einleitung auf, die die Entstehung der abgebildeten Autos in den Kontext ihrer Zeit stellt, sowie einem illustrierten Register technischer Informationen.
