Nicknames have to be earned. They are tokens of appreciation given only when people have built a special relationship to something (or someone). From the Chevrolet 3100 Pickup 'Bubble Maker' and the Citroen DS 'Goddess', 'all the way back to Ford's 'Tin Lizzy', this book presents ninety-nine classic cars and race cars, illustrated with great talent and affection by Helge Jepsen, with informative texts cleverly penned by Michael Köckritz.
