Brightwork Classic American Car Ornamentation

Before style was overshadowed by performance, the chrome & enamel details that adorned these cars -- known as brightworkÓ -- were integral to their design. This volume is a stunning showcase of the four main elements -- hood ornaments, horn buttons, emblems, & script -- that graced these cars in their heyday. Featuring dozens of full-color photographs that celebrate the drama & elegance of these collectibles, the book focuses on the style & craftsmanship of the little details that make a classic.Steacy, Ken is the author of 'Brightwork Classic American Car Ornamentation', published 2000 under ISBN 9780756774561 and ISBN 075677456X.
