{"product_id":"a-century-of-car-design","title":"A Century Of Car Design USED","description":"This beautifully produced, lavishly illustrated book presents a detailed \nhistory of the automobile—but describes cars entirely in terms of \ndesign, with attention to the innovative artists who created auto bodies \nfor the world's finest vehicles. The car is arguably the most important \ndesign icon of the past hundred years, and though its changes in \nappearance owe something to engineering developments, the most beautiful \ncars are proof that leading auto designers have been and continue to be \ntrue artists. This volume profiles major designers, with photos showing \nexamples of their masterworks. Here, for instance are Raymond Loewy, \ndesigner of the revolutionary 1947 Studebaker . . . Giorgetto Giugiaro, \ndesigner of the Lotus Esprit and several superb models for Aston Martin, \nAlfa Romeo, and Maserati . . . Harley Earl, creator of General Motors' \nmost innovative designs . . . and Ferdinand Porsche, creator of the \noriginal Volkswagen and several of the world's classic sports and racing \ncars. Here too are many of the finest examples of earlier classics from \nDaimler-Benz, Bugatti, Ford, Packard, and other auto makers. Today's \nmost prominent designers are also discussed, and their cars shown. They \ninclude Bjorn Envall at Saab and Uwe Bahnsen at Ford, among many others. \nComprehensive and clearly focused, A Century of Car Design will be \nvalued by serious students of twentieth-century design, as well as by \nthe millions of people for whom a love affair with cars has endured as a \ncentury-old preoccupation. Approximately 600 photos, 450 in color.","brand":"Barron's Educational Series","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31912122908743,"sku":"13335","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/img_2051.jpg?v=1772286335","url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/bs\/products\/a-century-of-car-design","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
