Michael Furman spoke with our J. Michael Hemsley about his life, his career and the cars that move him.
Michael Furman often attends the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, and that’s where Vintage Roadcar caught up with him. Furman is one of the most prolific, well respected automotive studio photographers in this country. The firm he created, Coachbuilt Press (www.CoachbuiltPress.com), has published ten of his fifteen books of photography. Furman is much sought after and has won many awards for his photography over the years, including awards from Photographics, Communication Arts, Photo District News, and the ADDY Awards. Most recently, he received the Publication of the Year from the International Historic Motoring Awards.
When asked about his dream car, Furman didn’t hesitate–The 1953 Bentley Continental R-Type–a beautiful post-war car that works on every level.
