Description: The Ruxton Automobile, History and Authenticity Guide by Jim Fasnacht. STILL SEALED, never opened copy. This is a rare "Pre-release Copy for Exclusive Distribution, Pebble Beach Concours, August 17, 2014" as noted by the sticker on the back of the shrink-wrap. These rare books sold out almost immediately in 2014. There were only 1000 copies printed, and only 250 went to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. This is one of those 250. How many of those are still sealed? The asking price for used copies is now $600-$800. This is a brand new, never read copy. The price is below the going price for used copies, despite this copy being unused.

It coincided with the transition for the roaring twenties into the Great Depression which devastated businesses and lives alike. Arguably the most compelling of automobile company stories, the Ruxton saga reads like a Hollywood script. Given the marque’s low production numbers, history has quietly tucked away both the story and the detailed knowledge of the automobiles themselves. Assembling this book has been an all-consuming task as the majority of the content is new information including summarized research tables, factory letters, and many never before released photographs. The first chapter tells the story of the Ruxton company. The rest of the book is devoted to providing valuable information for the stewardship of these fine automobiles. This project was undertaken with the hope that the book will give readers an appreciation for the cars and their place in history along with the tools to ensure that the Ruxton automobile endures in perpetuity."
