Meadow Brook Concours D'Elegance, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000
No Publisher Listed. B000CPL3U4 First Edition First Printing; Softcover Near Fine
This is a set of four programs from the Internationally renowned Meadow Brook Hall Concours d'Elegance, held every year at Meadow Brook Hall, Rochester, Michigan, on the grounds of Meadow Brook Hall, one of the largest private residences ever built in the US. It was the former home of Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of an auto baron. The pages are clean and tight; printed on glossy paper. The four are: August 6, 1995, with a 'special advertising section' from a periodical, tipped in; August 4, 1996; August 1, 1999; and August 6, 2000. To see these spectacular cars, in all of their glory, on the property of this fabulous estate, is a definite highlight of the year. Each program is filled with mostly color photos. I looked through these programs and see at least 20, or more, cars I'd love to bring home with me--the roadsters get me every time! While the programs show very nominal edge wear, they appear to have been very lightly handled, and then put away immediately. Oversized, 7#. ; Meadow Brook Hall Concours D'Elegance Series; Photographs; 8 1/4 x 11; The covers have slight rubbing and edge wear on them. One page in the 1996 brochure has a small crease at top of the page.

Cover is glazed boards. Pages are clean and tight; this is a NEW book. Appears to be a collection catalogue from the Hermitage Museum, in St. Petersburg, Russia. "...was formed mainly during the latter part of the eighteenth and the early years of the nineteenth century. The prevailing taste of the period favoured, above all others, works by the leading masters of the high Renaissance; these were regarded as models of artistic perfection, to be carefully studied and sedulously imitated. Best represented in the Museum's collection are prints of the Italian and the German Schools....Marcantonio Raimondi...Albrecht Durer...Master E. S...." For unknown reasons Netherlandish, fourteenth century Italian and fifteenth century French artists had limited or no appeal for the Russian collectors, so are nominally, or not at all, represented in this collection. Illustrated with 123 engravings, one to a page; description on the verso page, engraving on the recto page. Catalogue of the works and artists and a bibliography complete the volume. Very oversized, 6#. ; Color Illustrations; 9 1/2 x 12 1/2; 255 pages; Cover has slight bumping. DJ has light rubbing and bumping; in a mylar cover.

Chrysler is the company that created the great icon of American auto culture: the minivan; I know I love my Dodge minivan and couldn't live without it. Originally founded in Hamtramck, MI [right in the middle of Detroit], it eventually moved its headquarters to a glorious new building out in the suburbs.

Chrysler; Walter P. At the Helm; Walter P. Chrysler and the Great Depression; Chrysler at Peace and War [where would the US military have been in WW2 without that workhorse, the Jeep]; Postwar Era Begins; Virgil Exner Era; Chrysler Models from 1958 to 1969; Chrysler Corporation Flexes Its Muscles; Seventies and Eighties [the time of the great muscle cars, including Chrysler's Barracuda, aka the 'cuda]; Tom Gale and the Chrysler Design Staff; DaimlerChrysler; bibliography; appendix; index.
