Description

Sixty diverse cars. Sixty fascinating stories. Sixty contrasting specifications. One uniting factor: they're all forgotten, neglected, or misunderstood classics.

What car is that? Think you know it? Take another look--is it really what you remember? The 1960s may be celebrated as the cradle of the classic car, but these are the tantalizing ones that got away.

In Lost Cars of the 1960s, Giles Chapman presents a lineup of distinctive automobiles that quickly slipped into obscurity. Each car tells an unusual story--often with a surprising ending. This was a turbulent decade when bold new engine technologies were championed and then abandoned, design trends exploded overnight, and car buyers became more unpredictable than ever. Some of these cars fell victim to those shifts--while others were simply a bit too odd for their own good.

Lost Cars of the 1960s is the final installment in a trilogy that also includes Lost Cars of the 1940s and '50s and Lost Cars of the 1970s, capturing the intriguing forgotten corners of motoring history from around the world.
