“The coffee-table pit pass for anyone who judges movies by their chase scenes.” Car & Driver Buckle up for a wildly entertaining, richly informative, and visually stunning look under the hood of 34 of the most indelible cars and motorcycles ever captured on celluloid.Goldfinger’s Aston Martin DB5… Bullitt’s Mustang GT 390… Thelma & Louise’s ’66 Ford Thunderbird convertible… these vehicles are characters in their own right and every bit as stylish and sexy as their famous flesh-and-blood costars. Whether they’re stealing scenes, saving the day, or just peeling away from Johnny Law in a cloud of dust, the on-screen cars and motorcycles in these pages are the reason why many of us first went—and continue to go—to the movies. A loving tribute to the machines that made the movies, RIDE is a stunningly designed and boldly opinionated collectors’ keepsake packed with fresh interviews with famous car aficionados like Jay Leno, Stephen King, Michael Bay, NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, and many more. Featuring a fast-and-furious feast of gorgeous photography, immersive maps and illustrations, and insider commentary, RIDE tells the stories behind the stories of some of Hollywood’s most celebrated films, including The Spy Who Loved Me, Mad Max, The Dark Knight, Vanishing Point, Christine, Easy Rider, and so many more.
