Lost Beauties : 50 Cars That Time Forgot

Fifty exquisite classic cars, perfectly staged by photographer Michel Zumbrunn
Fifty fascinating stories, recounted by classic car expert Axel E. Catton
Foreword by Andrea Zagato
Text in English and German


Ever heard of the Volkhart Sagitta? L'OEuf electrique, or the Stanley Steamer? If not, you are in for a beautiful surprise, 50 times over!

Often times the cars in this richly illustrated book were lost because the manufacturer ceased to exist, or because they were found on the bottom of Lake Maggiore after 75 years, like the Bugatti Brescia. Among the 50 beauties there are one-offs, concepts, trendsetters, and failures as well as cars of the rich and famous, from Marilyn Monroe to Clark Gable.
