| Publisher Description: Paperback: Sometimes called a coach window or Landau roof, we know what it is when we see it. Yet, it can be difficult to define as the styling language differed from manufacturer, model and year. Opera windows invoked an image of passengers being chauffeured in secluded privacy to a stately night on the town while wearing one's finest attire. These small windows enabled rear seat passengers to peer out on the town, landscape and scenery while outsiders looked in with mysterious wonderment about who may inside such a fine automobile. From the author of "Those 80s Cars", this book contains 250+ photographs with before / after comparisons and descriptions. |
