This is a light reading, 1970s, coffee-table-style, book with the simple intent of taking the reader back to a time when people purchased one-of-a-kind, specially designed, coach built cars. Rather than look for a detailed history of coach building, the author gives us an abbreviated background that entertains us with short stories about the people who could design and produce these cars. The book is divided into 55 very brief chapters (one to two pages each) covering a few chassis manufacturers and some technical data figures, while intertwining entertaining quips about famous personalities of the period as well. It relies heavily on the appearance of the presentation, rather than giving lots of detailed historical information, by using a few line drawings, auto advertisements, old B&W photos and articles from Motor Trend Magazine. This is a handsomely designed book, but with the typical dated photo technology and printing quality of older books - unlike today?s books offered by Michael Furman?s presentations. The Custom Body Era by Hugo Pfau, compares well to the Gordon M. Buehrig autobiography Rolling Sculpture, by providing the classic car enthusiast with a brief look into the past.
