DESCRIPTION:
David Holland, a meticulous collector and restorer of cars over many years, has devoted his passion and expertise to bring to the reader a wealth of automobile experiences from the past, when many cars were finished by hand. The lure of the classic car is undeniable, and one of the quintessential features of any classic car is the dashboard. In gleaming metal, polished wood or padded leather, the dashboard has always expressed the nuances of a car's individual character. Through the expert photography of over 50 monumental cars, this book presents the reader with a broad spectrum of luxury and inventiveness: from the engine-turned metal of the 1937 Cord to the sporting pedigree of the 1953 Aston Marti
'An inspired edition.' (Classic and Sportscar) 'The book to end all books for anyone interested in classic vehicles.' (Limited Edition) 'Soft porn for hard petrolheads.' (Independent on Sunday) 'A delightful companion.' (Los Angeles Times)
David Holland's lifelong passion for the motor vehicle became a full-time hobby upon his retirement from the business world. He combines restoration and research with active participation in historic racing and contact with collectors and enthusiasts all over the world ^

Ray Harold Reynolds said Dashboards of exotic Autos. An unusual way to talk about sports cars of another age. Interesting and contains stuff not found elsewhere. Also shows what drivers had to work with on these early racers.. carl naesenius said Five Stars. gorgeous
