Park Ward, The Innovative Coachbuilder is a major three-volume work
on the pre-war history and cars of the great British coachbuilder.
The company was the most prolific coachbuilder on Rolls-Royce and
Bentley chassis, ultimately completing over 4,300 cars. Volume I
and II is the story of Park Ward & Co Ltd and covers the
company's growing relationship with Rolls-Royce Ltd. A photographic
record of all the Rolls-Royce models from Silver Ghost to the
Wraith that carried Park Ward coachwork is included, along with
chapters on the W. O. Bentley cars, and the Rolls-Royce and Bentley
experimental cars with Park Ward coachwork. The Derby-built
Bentleys follow, supported by chapters on the London Motor Show
cars, coachwork on marques other than Rolls-Royce and Bentley, and
examples of Park Ward advertising literature and catalogues. An
appendix contains a series of articles written by `Bill' Ward, the
company founder's son, entitled `The Art and Evolution of
Coachbuilding'. Volume III contains extensive tables detailing each
of over 3,000 pre-war Park Ward-bodied Rolls-Royce and Bentley, as
well as a listing of over 1,000 Park Ward bodies on other marques.
In addition and rarely seen before, there are over 700 sales order
pages extracted from Park Ward's Finishing books.
