This book presents the unprecedented collection of racing and performance cars that appeared at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts during the summer of 2012. The exhibit is gone now, but the collection is all here in this beautiful hardcover volume.

Includes: * Miller 122 Front-Wheel-Drive * Bugatti Type 35B Grand Prix * The Mormon Meteor I and Mormon Meteor III * The Speedomotive Special Streamliner * 4 1/2 Litre Blower Bentley * The ‘Million-Franc Delahaye’ * Shelby Daytona Coupe And many more. These cars exemplify the best in early 20th century industrial art and functional design.
