In a classic car photography book packed with an eclectic mix of
automotive images, Lance Cole (author of the Classic Car Adventure)
presents a stunning collection of photographs of old cars of all marques
and types captured in many locations. Across Allards to Bugattis,
Citroëns DKWs, Porsches, Saabs, Triumphs, Voisins, VWs, and a potpourri
of well-known classics, the author has journeyed far and wide to create
a wonderful diary of classic car moments amid the great enthusiasm for
nostalgia on wheels. A mix of cars, people, portraits, action and
atmosphere all blend in to a colorful journey across the classic car
world in a diverse blend of marques and eras.
250 color and black and white images populate an odyssey across a
landscape of cars in an interesting format that pitches multimillion
pound cars alongside more humble names. Seen on the move and static,
Lance Cole's photographs capture the essence of metal sculpture, light
falling upon paint and form, and the design hallmarks of old cars prior
to the age of digital design authoritarianism when so many cars look
similar.
If you love old metal, patina, paint, leather, and enthusiasm, all
captured across vintage, veteran, classic and modern classic metal, then
Classic Car Gallery is a rare memento of the cars of yesteryear seen
in the celebration of their today.
