Coming soon: | | GTO: Pontiac's Great One |  Have you read the Pontiac headlines? Now, more than ever, this book is an essential addition to your collection. With the current headlines surrounding Pontiac, Darwin Holmstrom's book GTO: Pontiac's Great One is hitting shelves at a pivotal moment in automotive history. This book truly is an exceptional tribute one of America's greatest automobiles ever built: the GTO. "GTO: Pontiac's Great One is a real history book (albeit a glandular case that won't fit on any normal bookshelf and might even overstress your coffee table's legs), and Darwin Holmstrom does an excellent job of describing Pontiac's path to its smash 1964 hit. In addition to the drool-inducing arty shots of showroom-condition Goats done by David Newhardt, we get countless vintage ads, drag-racin' shots, and so on! This is an easy Four (out of Five) Rod Review." - Murilee Martin of Jalopnik.com "A new and very large (10.5" x 12") coffee table book about the Pontiac GTO is making its debut this month, and I will warn enthusiasts right now: It's a must-have book, no matter what your particular auto passion is. Written by Darwin Holmstrom with photography by David Newhardt, GTO: Pontiac's Great One is the definitive record of how the legendary Pontiac GTO came about, complete with anecdotes by the people who were there and who made it happen." - Peter De Lorenzo of autoextremist.com When the news of Pontiac sell-off hit the airwaves on Monday, May 4th, Fox Business Television knew the most insightful expert around would come from Motorbooks. Author Darwin Holmstrom was interviewed on their national mid-day program: click here for the on-air interview!  | | Hot Rod Garages |  Attention Hot Rodders!

"This is an awesome look into the workshops of some of the most talented car builders, fabricators, and hot rod shops in the country.
