DESCRIPTION:
The Drive showcases the diversity and reach of this custom movement. After exploring custom motorcycles in The Ride and The Ride 2nd Gear, it’s high time to focus on the fourwheeled scene. Better than the original and a long way from factories and assembly lines. Passion and craft meet in their workshops in North America, Europe, and Asia. Handcrafted, radical, and subversive, these custom cars are designed and made by a small number of specialists from around the globe who share a common goal: to create the ultimate driving machine.From early hot rods and lowriders to modern tuning: this book presents a huge variety of unique cars from around the world. The resulting vehicles and this book are for anyone for whom a car is so much more than just a way to get around.. Each car is utterly unique; each builder a true personality. Automobiles have been tuned, restored, and rebuilt for years, but whether made for leisurely cruising or peak performance today’s custom machines are more interesting than ever before
