Perhaps the most coveted motorcars of all time are those powered by
V-16 engines. Although the auto manufacturers who engineered 16-cylinder
engines are few and far between, all those that did are profiled in
this wonderful history on that prestigious powertrain.
While the most popular prominent nameplate associated with
16-cylinder power was Cadillac, it's no wonder that the majority of this
book's content focuses on that marque; however, all the V-16-powered
Marmons are featured as well, followed by coverage of Peerless, and even
the Italian company, Bucciali.
Within the 242 pages of this hardcover 8.75 x 11.25-inch book, written
by Roy A. Schneider, you'll discover information not only on the cars
themselves, but you'll learn about the design philosophy behind creating
these V-16 Classics, along with some fascinating technical information
that focuses specifically on the engines of Cadillac and Marmon.
