FREESTONE & WEBB 1923-1958, THE STORY OF A BRITISH COACHBUILDER by James Taylor Freestone & Webb was a great name in British coachbuilding for some 35 years, but as demand for coachbuilt car bodies dried up in the 1950s, the company became the first of the Big Five remaining specialists to close down.
They had started in the early 1920s, as the motoring scene was settling down after the upheaval of the First World War. Early devotees of lightweight Weymann construction, they soon earned the approval of the nearby Bentley company because their bodies did not unduly hinder the performance of these great sporting chassis. Before long, Rolls-Royce models were also being provided with stylish and well-made Freestone & Webb coachwork, and so were many leading foreign chassis, such as Mercedes-Benz and Packard. 2021 Publication, Hardback, 152 pages, 270x210 mm, over 300 illustrations; Price: 79 EURO (Note: BREXIT-ignited costs increased the price that otherwise might merely be 60+ EURO)
