SuperFinds: A Truly Unique Selection of Previously Unseen Photographs of Important Historic Cars As Found in the 1960s And 1970s
by Michael Kliebenstein
Exactly what the long title promises. Ever heard of Corrado Cupellini?? Be prepared to be amazed.
At the Greatest Speed: Gordon Bennett, the Father of International Motor Racing
by Patrick Lynch
An obituary for Bennett couldn’t have said it better: “A novelist could not invent such a figure.” That this newspaper tycoon played a role as a motor racing impresario is almost only a footnote in his loud and colorful life.
The Douglas B-18 and B-23: America’s Forsaken Warriors
by Dan Hagedorn Sr. & Dan Hagedorn Jr.
Jack of all trades, master of none. That’s history’s verdict, but is it deserved? The authors have spent years researching the subject and many of their arguments have generic application to the question of institutionalized bias and uncritical journalism.
Hot Rodding International #13, The Best in Hot Rodding from Around the World
by Larry O’Toole
Take a trip around the world in this international magazine—from Australia—and also dip into hot rod history from auto shows and races to the work of fine artists.
Al Unser Jr.—A Checkered Past
as told to Jade Gurss
“There and back again” could be the theme of this story. It is not about image-burnishing but unblinking candor about the highest highs and the lowest lows, and that racing, even successfully, is not everything.
The Other Side of the Fence: Six Decades of Motorsport Photography
by Bill C. Warner
You surely recognize Warner’s name. You may even know that he’s done more than mount one of the Top 10 concours for half a decade—but did you know he’s a photographer, and a race car driver? Both of these things come into play in this book.
Breadvan – A Ferrari To Beat The GTO
by Richard Heseltine
The car that beat the GTO was itself a GTO, and Enzo F. sure did not like the upstart, or the renegade team owner that once had been his very good customer, or the treacherous engineers who threw their lot in with him. It’s complicated.
Automotive Art Project – Featuring the N Collection
by James Page & Steve Rendle
“N” as in Nahum, Claude. Oh yeah. Not only does he have serious cars, he has commissioned six big-time artists to each paint 25 of them. This oversize, limited-edition book will make you rub your eyes.
Porsche 904
by Jürgen Lewandowski and Stefan Bogner
Produced for just two short years, the 904 broke new ground, did its job very well, and looked supremely good. This book is an homage in mostly pictures and it too does its job very well and looks supremely good.
Lotus Elite: Colin Chapman’s first GT Car
by Matthew Vale
Some called it the best-looking car ever. The press lauded it. To break into the road car market Lotus kept the price so low they hardly made money on it. If you wanted it even cheaper, you could buy it as a kit. Still it took six years to sell just about a thousand. Sounds like a complex story.
Lawrie Bond, Microcar Man
by Nick Wotherspoon
Bond was involved with so much more than the 3-wheelers everyone associates with him. This expanded version of an older book offers even more detail and sheds light on the art and science of a small company building small vehicles.
Lane Motor Museum: A Hobby Gone Wild
by Ken Gross
Feeling lucky? Then identify the cars on the cover. Go! Yes, back to school—read this book. Calling the LMM the largest European collection of cars and motorcycles in the US is missing the point. It’s the genre/type of vehicle that’s being preserved here that matters.
