Assouline Book Vintage Cars

The timeless beauty of vintage cars elicits an emotional response, and avid collectors spend millions on vintage models for the nostalgia they evoke. A keen interest in vintage cars had already begun in the 1930s, when the Antique Automobile Club of America was founded and became popular among wealthy collectors. The value of a model is not necessarily determined by the small number made, it is a combination of the rarity, quality and reputation of the craftsman by whom it was built. The mark that once even appeared on a car's engine, its exciting colour, detailed finishes and distinctive radiator mascots, the most famous of which is Charles Sykes' inimitable Flying Lady that outfitted Rolls-Royces, are just a few examples of how car production has changed over the years and why people still have such a passion for vintage models. With an exquisite collection of photographs of premium vintage models by renowned photographer Laziz Hamani and an introduction written by automotive expert Ken Gross, Vintage Cars is a tribute to the great cars of the past and the undeniable fascination they inspire. today with many passionate collectors.
