Illustrated Dictionary Of Automobile Body Styles

This international dictionary defines and illustrates all distinct body types ever applied to automobiles anywhere, from the early days when many were closely derived from established types of horse-drawn vehicles ("cars" in their original sense). It explains subtype designations and distinctions between similar types, comments on when and where individual body types were popular, traces how terms have taken on different meanings in different countries or time periods, and clarifies the use or misuse of various terms and designations. Clear illustrations accompany many definitions, providing a visual explanation of body types and bodywork components.

This is a most useful book to keep by your side as you read automobile history. The author provides a clear and concise directory of changing body styles through the ages, from coach days through the most modern cars. The drawings are clear line depictions designed to emphasize the varied shapes and features of the many body styls discussed. As different nations apply varied terminology, much of that is included here as well. Some terms (such as "victoria") are given a number of definitions which vary by time and place. Indeed, there are numerous terms that over time have been given a wide variety of applications, and this guide helps to sort them out. Haajanen's book is easy to use given both its alphabetical arrangement and a good index.
