and arty posters, this book adds up to a visual feast
of nostalgia for film buffs and motoring enthusiasts alike.

Classic
American Limousines: 1955 Through 2000 Photo Archive -
An outstanding photographic archive on this niche enthusiast
topic--perhaps the only one available in print. The uniformly-high
quality black and white photos (virtually all exteriors)
are a mix of snapshots from the author's collection and period
publicity pictures. While Conjalka does justice to the more
common variants from both Cadillac and Lincoln, he also includes
the less-well known, such as the Chrysler Imperial Ghia line.
He also has ferreted out several good pictures of numerous
Presidential limousines from the past four decades.
Classic
Customs and Lead Sleds - Features the most influential
and recognizable customs (aka, "lead sleds") to
come out of the West Coast customizing scene in the last 15
years. Bertilsson's remarkable color photography captures
aesthetically traditional lead
sleds from such renowned current-day builders as John
"The New Kustom King" Dagostino, Rick "The
Arizona Kid" Dore, Rick "The Pastel Prince"
Zocchi, and Jimmy Vaughn (guitarist extraordinaire of Fabulous
Thunderbirds fame). Detailed captions identify each of the
machines depicted, while close-up shots reveal the cars' unique
features.
Cool
Cars, High Art: The Rise of Kustom Kulture - DeWitt explains
why customizing is an art medium, demonstrating that customizers
approach their work the same way fine artists do, and likening
the ground rules of customizing to those of cubism and surrealism.
He analyzes the various styles of customizing and distinguishes
periods in the now 60-plus-year history of the practice. Finally,
he weighs the symbiosis of the '50s and customizing and its
implications for the future of customizing. Throughout, he
refers with pinpoint pertinence to the 56 figures and 65
colorplates that make the book itself quite a dream machine.
