Author: Ken Gross

PRODUCT:

A Ford GT with a custom Gulf Oil paint job, an Aston Martin DB5, Jacques Villeneuve’s Reynard Formula Ford, Jaguar E-Types, Mercedes-Benz 300 SL’s, and a 2015 Porsche 918m—these are only a few of the fabulous cars featured in Miles S. Nadal’s awe-inspiring Dare to Dream Automotive Museum. This remarkable collection is the focus of Iconic: Art, Design, Advertising, and the Automobile, one of the Classics Collection books from Assouline. Miles has acquired some of the most celebrated automobiles of the past century. They are carefully curated for their significance, relevance and, most of all, for their iconic essence. Each vehicle is accompanied by an authoritative history prepared by award-winning author Ken Gross matching with photographs by acclaimed photographer Michael Furman. Every car is brought to life to the point where readers feel as though they are walking through the museum. This volume examines what resounds with the public, what it takes to become more than just a car or more than just the person behind the wheel—and finally what it takes to become “iconic.”
