Rather than viewing them simply as modes of transport, the book presents these machines as rolling works of art, admired for their sculptural forms, exquisite detailing and remarkable provenance.

Throughout, the volume showcases an impressive collection of iconic marques and rare collector models, selected for their historical importance, technical achievements and timeless design. Gross guides readers through the stories behind each vehicle, highlighting the vision and artistry that defined an era when automobiles were built with individuality and elegance at their core.

Complementing the narrative is the stunning photographic portfolio by Hamani, whose imagery captures every curve, chrome detail and handcrafted finish. Together, the text and photography create a compelling celebration of the vintage cars that continue to captivate collectors and enthusiasts around the world.

Assouline also recently collaborated with Feadship on a landmark volume that draws on the shipyard’s private archives to explore the heritage, craftsmanship and philosophy behind one of the world’s most exclusive yacht builders.
