": ""...Book Explores the Lines Between Captivating Cars and Great Architecture."" ""We enjoyed the first volume and welcome this tour that gives a glimpse of some favorite cars in beautiful stateside settings, some familiar and others largely unknown. Each photograph in the 192-page collection captures a unique relationship, whether a sober monochromatic facade or a mint-green facia mimicked by an automotive chameleon in the carport.""" - Robb Report
