Assouline's 'Rare Cars' by A. J. Baime surveys legendary cars from 1931 to the present. The book comes in a metal case, weighs 20 pounds, and costs $2,500.
A. J. Baime has written eight books, one of them being 'Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans.' You probably saw the movie version, 'Ford vs. Ferrari.' Following two books on U.S. presidents and one on a civil rights activist, he's back behind the figurative wheel with 'Rare Cars,' published last month by Assouline.
Rare Cars' 203 illustrations over 304 pages lines up many of the usual suspects: An 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C, 1936 Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, and 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV/J. There are extreme rarities like the 1954 Oldsmobile F-88 , Porsche 917 Art Car , and DeLorean's gold-plated DMC-12 . There are surprises like the 1971 Chevrolet Corvette ZR2 and W Motors Lykan HyperSport.
