There are automobiles that left no trace of their passing; they slipped into anonymity almost as though they had never existed, vanished like snow in the sun, swept away by the succession of models, version and generations. And then, instead, there are vehicles that made history, stirring the souls and thrilling the hearts not just of enthusiasts, but also the wider public. Milestones of automobiles; reference points for design, performance and fascination. Real icons of technology. Immortals.
This book is dedicated to these jewels on four wheels, produced from the start of the 1900s up to the ’60s – one of the greatest periods ever from the point of view of creativity and engineering advances. Like stroking the pearls that make up a necklace, thanks to its exciting images, anecdotes, curiosities and detailed technical analysis, The Golden Era of Classic Cars accompanies the reader through time, looking at the 73 models that were most characteristic of the first half of the 20th century.
Sebastiano Salvetti has always been fascinated by apparently very different worlds, those of automobiles and mountains, both of which he turned into a profession thanks to his passion for technology and his research into materials. Having graduated in law and become a professional journalist, he worked with the outdoor sports monthly Montebianco and for seven years on the magazine Automobilismo, specialising in test drives, tuning and off-road. After a spell as technical director at Ski-alper, the only European magazine specialising in Alpine skiing, he now works with automobiles on the portal Red-live.it, the magazines Gente Motori, Auto&Fuoristrada and Gente Motori Classic as well as the bimonthly Motori Agricoli and the websites gazzetta.it and ilgiornale.it.
