The Americans

I was born in a little town not far from the Motor City of America: Detroit, Michigan.

Automobiles are in my blood. Nearly my whole family worked for the auto industry. 

I’m no mechanic by a long shot but I still love looking at cars from years gone by and the new releases every year.

Oil, grease, coolant and transmission fluids are in my blood. Cut me and I bleed anti-freeze.

Writer Blake Z. Rong and Gestalten present the beautifully bound., photo-filled deluxe hardbound book The Americans Beautiful Machines: The Most Iconic Cars And Their Era.

Printed on semi-gloss paper and heavily bound with with front and back color photos the book is nearly an inch thick with amazing color photos of some of the most unique, well-known and beautifully photographs of cars imaginable.

Each of the selected cars are deeply delved into with full histories, full-page and double -page photo spreads. New and vintage photos are accompanied by close-up interior photos, concept car photos and designer photos along with dozens of interior shots of the cars in outside settings and in motion.

It is a beautifully crafted, photographed and written book that captures the very essence of the American automobile I am old enough to remember seeing many of the cars spotlighted in the book.

I experienced a wonderful feeling of nostalgia and pride as I looked through each page. Images of such classic cars as the corvette, Thunderbird Mustang and many more show how the designers and engineers of the cars took special pride in their construction, attention to detail and innovations.

It is a remarkable book of not only about the cars themselves but the American culture that spawned such magnificent machines.

John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
