Publisher's Note


Louis Vuitton has always cultivated a connection with the world's finest automobiles. The earliest luxury cars were often equipped with Louis Vuitton trunks and baggage, whether they were traveling across town or racing through Africa on expeditions. Thus began Louis Vuitton's long association with the automobile - a shared history resonant with adventure, exoticism, luxury, and innovation.
In recent decades the company has built upon that heritage and enhanced its automotive ties by sponsoring prestigious classic car rallies across the globe, including in Italy, China, and Malaysia. And Louis Vuitton has gathered together the world's most remarkable automobiles - such as the Bugatti 50-T (1932), the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 Spider (1937), and the Ferrari 375 MM (1956) - at concours d'elegance in incomparable settings in Paris, London, and New York.
Such celebrations of automotive history and design are recalled here with magnificent photographs and previously unpublished documents, revealing the world of the automobile in all its glory.
