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 conveyed much of a car`s individual character. Whether in a single-seater racing car or a family saloon, it is here that function meets form, ergonomics meets style. Through expert photography of over fifty cars, this book presents the reader with an array of luxury and inventiveness, from the engine-turned metal of the 1937 Cord to the sporting pedigree of the 1953 Aston Martin DB 2/4. David Holland, a collector and restorer of cars over many years, has devoted his expertise to bringing the reader a wealth of automobile experiences. Each classic dashboard is lovingly described and photographed in detail, making this a magnificent book for every enthusiast.
