My Cool Classic Car: An inspirational guide to classic cars

by Chris Haddon

Fuelled by passion, nostalgia and perhaps eccentricity over necessity, Chris Haddon unveils often overlooked and garage-dwelling cars and introduces you to the worlds' most classic cars and their owners. Some are immaculate, while some even come with rust, but regardless of age and value, they are regularly used, loved and clock up an impressive mileage.

Cast your mind back to a time of car design when individuality was a selling point and manufacturers dared to be different. My Cool Classic Car explores quirky design aspects, big and small, good (or bad) handling traits and humorous, slightly haphazard approaches to solutions. In all cases, My Cool Classic Car embraces manufacturers' individuality and the trends of the era.

My Cool Classic Car allows us to pause, think and reconnect with a time when dashboards and interior spaces were art forms in their own right.

Nice idea for a coffee table book with some popular and obscure classic cars. Lovely pictures but sometimes the text would talk about a detail on the car but there would be no picture of it.
