The book “L’Incroyable Histoire de l’ Automobile” will be released on September 4, 2025, by Editions Les Arènes. The history of the automobile is told by three enthusiasts: historian Jean-Louis Loubet, screenwriter Laurent-Frédéric Bollée, and our favorite illustrator Christophe Merlin.
Let’s salute this titanic work (400 pages), which approaches this universal subject from a very original angle.
Below right, the 400-page edition with a blue cover, available in all bookstores. And on the left, the expanded 416-page edition, available only at the Bulles bookstore in Le Mans (800 copies).
The immediate post-war period, and the recovery in car factories and on racetracks around the world.
