A Man And His Car Book

A gift that drives!

Matt Hranek, the quintessential man-about-town and a fixture of NYC men's style, returns with his second book, A Man & His Car. This beautifully crafted tribute explores men's deep-seated obsession with cars through first-hand and original interviews. The book features fascinating stories from a wide range of personalities, including Jay Leno, who tells the story of his first car, a 1955 Buick Roadmaster bought for $350, which he once slept in before making it big in L.A. Kevin Costner shares his emotional connection to the iconic Shelby Mustang from Bull Durham, which he later bought for his personal collection. Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla's chief designer, reflects on his lifelong passion for cars, which began at a young age and is captured in a childhood photo of him drawing cars from his high chair. Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg's 1965 Cadillac "Snoop DeVille" convertible adds a touch of celebrity flair. A Man & His Car also offers exclusive access to some of the world's most prestigious car collections, including Steve McQueen's 1956 Jaguar XKSS, Elvis Presley's bullet-ridden 1971 DeTomaso Pantera and a rare 24-karat gold-plated 1980 DeLorean DMC-12, originally sold for $85,000. Each story is accompanied by exquisite photography that showcases the cars in intricate detail - head-on, with hood ornaments, wheels and full-body shots. Through Hranek's compelling storytelling, these cars transcend their role as mere vehicles to become symbols of pop culture, innovation, heritage and personal connection.
