Stars & Cars Mythical Pairings
By Jacques Braunstein
Steve McQueen, a Ford Mustang and San Francisco. The ten-minute pursuit in Bullitt has remained one of the all-time great movie car chase sequences for nearly 50 years. Iconic automotive pairings from cinematic history do not get much better than this.
Stars & Cars, written by Jacques Braunstein, is a celebration of the most unforgettable automotive moments in film, TV and popular culture. Lavishly illustrated, it brings together the iconic cars that made an impact on our collective psyche, and the stars—the actors, musicians, writers, and painters—who drove, raced, collected, re-painted, crashed or simply loved them to an obsessional degree. From James Dean and his ill-fated Porsche Spyder, to the greatest Aston Martin moments in the Bond movies, from the heroic Minis in The Italian Job, to the eye-popping paint jobs on the psychedelic limos commissioned by The Beatles—some of the greatest collaborations between stars and cars are featured in the pages of this book.
Perfect for lovers of retro TV series or the Hollywood greats, American muscle cars or classic European roadsters, Bond films or Batman, Fast & Furious or Frank Sinatra, with over 150 stunning images, expert text and some cool anecdotes, this is a great read for any fan of cars AND movies. Hardbound, 224 pages.
