- Secret Cars Exposed by the Industry's Most Notorious Photographer
All automobile manufacturers go to great pains to keep their future models under wraps until they are ready for public unveiling. Huge proving grounds in remote locations with roving, menacing private security forces are enough to keep the casual observers away. But not everyone is a casual observer. Some are quite serious about clamping eyes (and lenses) on the latest design innovations, often years before they become available to the public. Jim Dunne is no casual observer; he's an automotive spy photographer.
Car Spy is for anyone who has an interest in new-car design, the manufacturing process, and road testing secrets. With sometimes humorous stories, it uncovers the behind-the-scenes extremes that author Jim Dunne will go to in order to scoop a manufacturer's new car.
This book is illustrated with more than 200 vintage black and white and modern color images of domestic and foreign cars in various stages of develpment and testing.
