Man & His Car, A: Iconic Cars and Stories from the Men Who Love Them: 2 (A Man & His)

Product Information

Exquisite photos of each car accompany each story, and since cars naturally hold more detail than watches, there will be more photos in this book-of the cars head-on, of their hood ornaments and wheels, and of course full-body shots. I’ve always had an affinity towards the cars that I’ve owned; even when they were beater cars or old jalopies! One of those books that’s so nicely made you feel like you have to review it every so often, can’t just leave it on the shelf.

But there’s a guy making electric-engined Land Rover Series IIs and IIIs in Australia—people will always be attracted to the aesthetic of old cars. As crazy as it may sound, I believe that cars, like any machine, are living entities that react to the way you treat them!

I have a small confession to make, I actually talk to my car and tell it how I feel and express how much I appreciate her standing by me when I needed her the most, which helped me become more expressive in other areas of my life, especially with my wife. Matt Hranek took the stunning photographs, but the story of each featured car was written by its actual owner. Quant à Snoop Dogg et à sa Cadillac décapotable "Snoop DeVille" de 1965, est-il besoin de l'expliquer ? Now, I’m not arguing that women can’t love their cars as much as men, instead, what I’m hypothesizing is that men are more likely to invest more than women in vehicles that are bigger, faster, and more powerful!

Filled with stunning photographs of the whole cars and of the exquisite details that make car lovers' hearts beat just a little faster, as well as more than 80 personal stories, it's a joy for every reader who knows that a car is never just a car.

I think most women would agree that a great deal of men have allot of trouble identifying and verbalizing their emotions. And as for Snoop Dogg and his 1965 Cadillac "Snoop DeVille" convertible -- do we even need to explain? Franz von Holzhausen, chief designer at Tesla, who worked hand in hand with Elon Musk to design the Tesla Model S prototype, says that his love of cars started when he was two (as evidenced by a picture of him sitting in a high chair drawing a car).Designers aren’t thinking about how you see a car overhead, it’s about how you see it parked, coming at you and going away.

But while the story of a guy’s wrist candy may be compelling, Hranek knew that tales about what’s parked in the driveway or garage had the potential to be truly epic.Here is a beautiful homage to an object of men's obsession, told in firsthand and original interviews. Each edition is signed by the author, and accompanied by a protective box in a rich tobacco brown that we really appreciate. From Ed Burns to Jay Leno, from Kevin Costner to Peter Mullin or Shaquille O’Neal, 40 different collectors give us their very personal view on why a car is never just a simple car. And then there’s a lot of mortals out there that don’t have celebrity status but have a great love-affair story.
