London England: Blandford Press, 1975. Hardback. First Edition. Passenger Cars. 1924-1942. Price clipped to D/J. The seventh book in the Blandford Cars of the World in Colour series tells the story of passenger car development between 1924-1942. Along with the famous names of big makers, this volume covers such seldon-discussed breeds as Czechoslovakia's Praga, the Soviet Z.I.S. and the Hungarian Magosiz. Also to be encountered are the early efforts of makers whose names are household words today; both Datsun of Japan and Volvo of Sweden were making cars in the inter-war years, though only for home consumption. it is intriguing to notice that the vast majority of the refinements that we take for granted today were not unknon in 1940, or even 1935.
