Organized by geography and decade, it's basically a love letter to a century of design obsession, spanning Japanese cult classics to Italian icons, German legends, American showstoppers, and British speed demons. Featured in Vanity Fair, Car and Driver, and The Times, this holiday favorite celebrates the evolution of automotive design with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for finding money in your coat pocket. Whether you're a devoted petrol head or simply someone who appreciates beautiful things that move, this is the kind of book that makes you feel smarter just by owning it.
