Description
Preston Tucker & Others – Tales of brilliant automotive innovators & innovations. By: Arvid Linde softbound.
Can you imagine a world where people drive beautiful and unusual cars, created by designers prodigiously endowed with talent and imagination? Names like Preston Tucker, Carl Borgward and John DeLorean are hardly known today. Nevertheless, today’s cars would be a lot different without their contributions to automotive engineering. Although the car is a technological and rational affair, it’s the dreamers and eccentrics like these who have made the biggest contribution to the development of the industry; those who have had the ability to think beyond their time and conventions. Money doesn’t drive progress in the car business – it is a passion for speed, and an obsession with mechanisms. Yet for many a dreamer, this passion has ended in fiasco. Misunderstood and pushed aside by their contemporaries, they have been forced to watch their dreams trampled underfoot.
