This is a book full of wonderful surprises such as the amazingly styled Thor Streamliner, a fascinating Hubbell racer, the incredible Clarke Troller, the unusual Zundapp, and others. The period covered runs from the early 1900s to the 1960s, and the motors included come from several important collections in the US and Canada.
