Fifty of the best German automotive photographers, or photographers who work in Germany, or for German clients. No matter. Car photos. Well, mostly of cars. Definitely not car words.

The Brown Bullet, Rajo Jack’s Drive to Integrate Auto Racing

by Bill Poehler

What do a four-time (1978, 1979, 1999 and 2003) NFL coach of the year and Super Bowl winner born in 1936 and a Champ- and midget-car driver (1905–1956) have in common? More than you might ever imagine!

Porsche 962/088 – The Autobiography of 962 011

by Serge Vanbockryck

Everybody knows the Porsche 917 but even more celebrated was the 956, which was followed by the 962 featured here. And no. /11 was the most successful of the 19 works cars built.

Inside OSCA: The Bolognese Miracle That Amazed The World 

by Carlo Cavicchi

OSCA was the brainchild of the Maserati brothers and they certainly knew what’s what in sports- and racecar-building. But: “Much as genius was overflowing in Bologna, money was lacking.” Always the money. This book tells the story mostly in photos.

Honda: Road to the Red Zone, Sports Story / Voyage en Zone Rouge, l’histoire sportive

by Lionel Lucas

You see Hondas every day; you see books every day. But wait. What you don’t see every day are the Type R versions covered here and you definitely don’t see ambitious, creative, and fun books like this often!

The Ford Dealership, Volumes I, II, III, and IV

by Henry L. Dominguez

Now four volumes strong—and with two more planned—this is surely the most voluminous coverage of the subject. Ford did not only invent standardized mass production but also the system of franchised dealers. The Blue Oval’s lasting success rests on both of these.

Wheelbase: Dark Dealings in the Classic Car World

by Michael Kliebenstein

A £70 million car deal is on the line and it is contingent on the sale of an entire collection. Happens all the time—except this is a work of fiction, inspired at least somewhat by real-life experiences.

Formula 2–The Glory Years, 1967–84

by Jutta Fausel

German photographer Fausel attended her first race in 1961 and found a lifelong passion which kind of by accident became a professional career. Her archive contains over 80,000 images; almost 900 made it into this book.

The Gilmore Car Museum, Miles From the Ordinary

by David O. Lyon

Opened in 1966, the Gilmore todays sits on a 90-acre campus that is also home to other car-related club headquarters, museums, and activities. Visiting it is in the best sense of the word an experience.

Growing Wings: The Inside Story of Red Bull Racing

by Ben Hunt

Motorsports revolves around a vast multitude of unknowables, making the hand of fate a fickle one. Money buys many things but not guaranteed success, but without money, nothing is easy. From the Foreword all through the book the common theme is overcoming self-doubt and committing to the mission.

USS Massachusetts (BB-59), From World War II to Battleship Cove 

by David Doyle 

Commissioned in May 1942, USS Massachusetts was the largest ship ever from that particular boatyard. She saw action within months, sinking several ships and today survives as a National Historic Landmark.

Fast, Faster, Fastest: The Bill Sadler Story

by John R. Wright

He designed, built, and raced his own cars, but also aircraft, engines, and drones. Before that he was a guided missile tech—never mind that he had dropped out of school. Smart people lead busy lives, this book covers it, and Sadler lived just long enough to bless it.
