1975 History of the MOTOR CAR

This offering is for the HC book titled History of the MOTOR CAR dated 1975.  This large, 5 lb 6 oz colossal tabletop book is extraordinary especially some of the huge full page colour photos.  No need to view the contents of this 6 lb book while holding it, just lay it down on a coffee table, open it up and the pages being viewed, as well as all the following pages remain flat.  The interior pages are in great condition. The dust jacket is a bit rough around the edges with some small pieces missing here and there.  The jacket did its job perfectly protecting the hard cover.  This book is not just another book of automobiles, but the HISTORY of automobiles, starting with the actual museum sketch of Leonardo da Vinci's self-propelled cart (from the Codex Atlanticus).
