Celebrate That Special Bond Between Men and Cars, and the Stories That Connect ThemOver 40 different collectors and their personal vehicles are profiled via first-person accounts. You'll find Jay Leno's 1955 Buick Roadmaster a few pages away from a Tesla Model S prototype (one of the few non-vintage cars to appear in the book) presented by Franz von Holzhausen, the company's Chief Designer. Kevin Costner's 1968 Shelby Mustang GT350, Snoop Dogg's 1965 Cadillac "Snoop de Ville," Ralph Lauren's 1971 Mercedes-Benz 28OSE Cabriolet, and Marc Newson's 1933 Bugatti Type 59 are all here, among many others. And on the cover? A classic car if there ever was one – a 1964 Land Rover Series IIA Short Wheelbase that's owned by the journalist and author Simon de Burton.
A large majority of the vehicles detailed in A Man And His Car were photographed by Hranek himself, who traveled to meet with each collector and view for himself the cars they love. Hranek also visited a few additional sites for A Man And His Car – including the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, the Henry Ford Museum Archive, and the Alfa Romeo/Fiat Archive – that are unrelated to any individual collector, but provide a glimpse inside some of the world's most celebrated car collections.
