The Tatra limousines, produced between 1945 and 1999, had a special fate. Although they were always elegant cars with a unique technical concept, they carried a certain stigma with them. This was due to their almost exclusive purpose for a narrowly selected circle, especially political prominent people of the time. Even though these cars were not primarily sold on the regular market, their printed promotion in the form of brochures and posters was quite extensive. This resulted in many unique materials for domestic and foreign customers. And almost all of them have been concentrated in this book for the first time. A novelty in the publication this time is a total of 21 drawings, mainly of cars, by the artist Jan Hlavín, which introduce individual chapters and enrich the book artistically.
Published by Moto Public, hardcover, format 21 x 27 cm, 296 pages.

The book recalls more than 150 car models that were sold in Czechoslovakia between 1945 and 1990. Passenger cars of three dozen different brands came from domestic production, but also from imports, whether from Eastern or Western Europe, and exceptionally from Japan and South Korea. The car descriptions are illustrated by 450 mostly color photographs and drawings.

A representative publication with perfectly crafted graphics prepared by a renowned author. The content consists of descriptions of passenger cars manufactured in Czechoslovakia between 1918 and 1938, their basic technical data. In addition to cars from large factories (Praga, Škoda, Tatra), cars from smaller manufacturers (Aero, Jawa, Walter, Wikov, Z) are also presented, as well as cars from small brands (Disk, Enka, Gatter, Isis, Stelka, Trimobil ...) - a total of 33 of the most important brands. In each chapter, the reader will find sales statistics in individual years, period prices and other technical information. A total of 600 exclusively period photographs are used in the chapters of individual production brands. The last chapter contains 52 copies of period brochures of the listed car manufacturers. The new book will be an ornament to the library, a source of much new information, a pleasure for the reader and a joy for the owner ...

The publication is dedicated to the remarkable fate of the twelve-cylinder sports convertible Tatra 80 purchased in 1931 by the prominent industrialist Dr. Heinrich Schicht.

The author of the richly illustrated book is the leading internationally recognized expert on historical Tatra vehicles, Ing. arch. Pavel Kasík.
