Vintage Cars (2nd Edition)

There is something about a vintage automobile that stops you completely, a sculpted line, a luminous finish, the quiet authority of a machine built not merely to move but to endure. Assouline captures that singular feeling in Vintage Cars, a volume that transforms automotive history into a luxurious visual experience.

Structured as an immersive visual journey rather than a traditional chronological history, the book moves through iconic models, extraordinary craftsmanship, and the vibrant culture of the collectors and enthusiasts who continue to preserve and celebrate these legendary machines today. At its heart is the conviction that vintage automobiles are not simply vehicles but works of art, as worthy of reverence as fine furniture or a masterful oil painting.

With an introduction by renowned automotive historian Ken Gross and original photography by celebrated luxury photographer Laziz Hamani, every page reveals the sculptural lines, sumptuous interiors, and luminous finishes that made these machines icons of their era. The cover alone, featuring the breathtaking Maserati Tipo 61, sets the tone perfectly.

For collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone who understands that true beauty is always worth preserving, this is the definitive tribute to the golden age of motoring. 

Book Care Guidelines

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your book, we recommend the following:

* Handle with Care: Always use clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt onto the pages and cover.
* Protect from Sunlight: Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause fading or discoloration over time.
* Store Properly: Keep books in a cool, dry place, upright on a flat surface, and away from heat or moisture.
* Dust Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster to clean the cover and page edges.
* Open with Caution: Do not force the spine flat, especially on new books, to prevent damage to the binding.
* Avoid Food and Drinks: Keep books away from liquids and food to prevent accidental spills and stains.
* ⁠Less Spine Stress: Bookstands support the spine without forcing it flat, which helps prevent cracking or warping.
