The story of some of nineteenth-century Europe's most luxurious carriage--and the people who made them. Founded in 1845 by Victor Jacques Morel (1814-79), Maison V. Morel was one of the most important Parisian coachbuilders during the second half of the nineteenth century, a time when French manufacturers dominated the industry. Antoine-Joseph Grümmer (1834-1909) succeeded Jacques Morel in 1879, renaming the company Société J. Grümmer. Their superb and elegant carriages were the talk of high society both in their native France and abroad, due in part to contributions to the accessories and finishing materials made by such illustrious names as Louis Vuitton and Hermès. This book tells the story of the company and its two leaders, drawing from previously unpublished documents and numerous illustrations of Morel and Grümmer's remarkable carriages.

The years between the two World Wars was an extraordinary period for the French luxury car trade and during this time, Carrosserie Gaston Grümmer was one of the leading coach building houses in Paris.Descended from a long line of coach builders, Gaston Grümmer was the son of Antoine-Joseph whose company, J. Grümmer formerly V. Morel, produced first, from 1845, exceptional horse-drawn carriages and from the 1890s automotive bodies. Trained in the family business before World War I, Gaston Grümmer, spent the war as a soldier, first on horseback and in the trenches and then in the air as a pilot. At the end of hostilities, he brilliantly re-launched the family business transforming it into the Société Anonyme des Etablissements Grümmer. As the company moved towards the production of series bodywork for various manufacturers, Gaston decided that he wanted to break away to build custom cars and in 1924 he created his own company under the name of Carrosserie Gaston Grümmer. For the next ten years he achieved great success on both aesthetic and technical levels.Thanks to recently discovered and previously unpublished archives, his son, Philippe Grümmer, in association with one of the best French automotive historians, Laurent Friry, takes us back to this glorious period during the "Roaring Twenties" recalling the major events of the Concours d'Elégance and Les Salons de l'Auto, and describes the bodies that Gaston Grümmer produced for the chassis of around 54 manufacturers and the hundred or so prizes which he won.Illustrated with photographs, press articles and period documents, including the reproduction of a series of design drawings, this reference book on bodywork of the time is a must for any student of the period.

Coup d'envoi du partenariat entre le château de Versailles, la région Nord-Pas-de-Calais et la ville d'Arras, "Roulez carrosses !" est la première exposition consacrée en France aux voitures hippomobiles et, en l'occurrence, à des voitures historiques, toutes du plus grand luxe et toutes différentes : voitures de promenade des enfants de Louis XVI, berlines du mariage de Napoléon Ier, char funèbre de Louis XVIII, carrosse du sacre de Charles X... D'autres chefs-d'oeuvre, fleurons des collections versaillaises, les accompagnent : un ensemble de peintures de Van der Meulen dont la célèbre Entrée de Louis XIV à Arras, de grands portraits royaux, ou des pièces uniques comme ces traîneaux de fantaisie dans lesquels Louis XV puis Marie-Antoinette sillonnaient en hiver les allées enneigées du parc de Versailles. Ce rassemblement est l'occasion d'un discours où s'enchevêtrent épisodes de la grande histoire, entrées des souverains dans la capitale artésienne, événements dynastiques et usages de cour, rapportés et commentés ici par d'éminents historiens. Grâce à la contribution des meilleurs spécialistes des voitures hippomobiles, les amateurs de belles voitures, quant à eux, découvriront ce qu'étaient les grands carrosses d'apparat - du "carrosse moderne" inventé sous Louis XIV jusqu'aux voitures de gala de la présidence de la République -, quels en étaient leurs innovations techniques, le raffinement de leurs accessoires et l'extrême richesse de leur ornementation, en un temps où l'art de la carrosserie française connaissait son apogée.

A volume devoted to Giugiaro and Italdesign could hardly not be included in the Masterpieces of style series. Giugiaro is one of the most prestigious names in the history of automotive design, synonymous with iconic cars such as the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT and Alfetta, the Volkswagen Golf, the Audi 80, the Fiat Panda, Uno and Punto, the Lancia Delta, Thema and Prisma and the Maserati Bora, Ghibli and Merak, to mention but a few of the most successful designs to carry the Giugiaro name. Born in 1938 at Garessio in the province of Turin, Giugiaro honed his professional skills at Bertone and then at Ghia before setting up on his own when founding Giugiaro Italdesign in 1968. Today the firm is as active as ever and has been responsible for concept cars such as the Caimano, the Iguana and the Canguro, all based on Alfa Romeo mechanicals, and the Asso di Picche and the Quadri on respectively Audi and BMW chassis. This monograph covers this long technical and stylistic history, drawing on a clear, comprehensive text and hundreds of photographs, many of which previously unpublished. The series, includes books on Zagato (2017) Touring (2017), Pininfarina (2018) and, to be published soon, Bertone, Vignale and Ghia.

That Marcello Gandini is one of the greatest of automobile designers ever has never been disputed, and whether he is the greatest ever, only time and the directions automobile design takes, will tell. But there is no doubting Marcello Gandini?s immense impact on automobile design in the last four decades of the 20th century that still remains valid well into the 21st century. the Lamborghini Miura to the Maserati Quattroporte IV, the humble Innocenti Mini to the epic Cizeta V16T, Marcello Gandini has designed some of the most epochal of all automobiles. Iconic cars like the first-generation BMW 5 Series, the Audi 50/VW Polo, the Fiat X1/9, the Lamborghini Countach and the Diablo, the Lancia Stratos, the Renault Magnum super truck, and many others have all flowed his stylistic pen. -- Designing automobiles that really defined the late 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, even the 1990s, Marcello Gandini is, arguably, the one man who had the greatest impact, the one who changed automotive design the most.
