This is an essential guide which celebrates the coachbuilders, who brought the car into the forefront of modern design. "Of all the crafts and trades involved in constructing the first motor cars, the coachbuilder was far and away the oldest….engineers might divert their spirits of invention to the car, but when it came to cladding the chassis with a body, it was on the skills and tradition of the coachbuilder that they depended".
