Dashboards by David Holland
The lure of the classic car is undeniable, and one of the quintessential features of any classic car is the dashboard. In gleaming metal, polished wood or padded leather, the dashboard has always expressed the nuances of a car's individual character. Whether in a single-seater racing car or a family saloon, it is here that function meets form, that ergonomics meets style. Through the expert photography of over 50 monumental cars, this book presents the reader with a broad spectrum of luxury and inventiveness: from the engine-turned metal of the 1937 Cord to the sporting pedigree of the 1953 Aston Martin DB 2/4. David Holland, a meticulous collector and restorer of cars over many years, has devoted his passion and expertise to bring to the reader a wealth of automobile experiences from the past, when many cars were finished by hand. Each classic dashboard is lovingly described and photographed in detail, making this a magnificent book for the general aesthete, just as much as for the enthusiatic connoisseur.'An inspired edition' (Classic and Sportscar)
'The book to end all books for anyone interested in classic vehicles.' (Limited Edition)

David Holland's lifelong passion for the motor vehicle became a full-time hobby upon his retirement from the business world. He combines restoration and research with active participation in historic racing and contact with collectors and enthusiasts all over the world ^
