I am always intrigued and a little surprised when I learn the early history of many of these companies. The hardships and the creative dreams of the founders make for a nice story. The early designs, whether the successes or the failures, make for great viewing. Watching the development of specific models and learning why changes were made gives the kind of insight that makes you appreciate the work, both creative and physical, that goes into these vehicles.
Highly recommended for Porsche fanatics and those who simply enjoy automotive history. Will make an attractive coffee table book that will likely start some conversations, possibly about dream cars and the fun of the road.
