Produktinformationen zu „Three Million Miles in a Volvo and Other Curious Car Stories (ePub)“
This latest book from Giles Chapman celebrates the fascinating lives of 50 amazing, memorable and often quirky characters, who all added significantly to the culture of cars and motoring in a wide variety of often surprising ways. These curious car tales encompass both men and women, some famous, some lesser known. This is not the place to find biographies of Henry Ford or Enzo Ferrari, towering figures who have been written about to excess already, but stop here to learn about the life of the stunt driver who crops up in so many 70s films you will be stunned not to know his name; great racing drivers such as Mary Davies; Nils Bohlin, the seatbelt inventor who saved millions of lives; as well as many designers, stylists, company founders, importers, experts and larger than life salesmen, plus some very car obsessed movie stars and producers. The modern car scene would have looked very different without these impactful individuals.
