A Year's Worth of Sports Cars
|  Sports cars make up one of the most beloved automotive genres for car fans. From towering icons like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Corvette to everyman sportsters from Triumph, MG, Sunbeam, and Miata to oddballs like Crosley, Sabra, and DB, sports cars inspire passion and strong opinions as few other vehicles on the road could. This book, 365 Sports Cars You Must Drive, provides capsule overviews and fun facts about the greatest, oddest, most beautiful, and most ill-considered sports cars of all time. How many have you driven, dreamed about, or shuddered at the thought of? Continue our conversation about favorite sports cars on our Facebook page by telling us about your dream car. Have you driven it? Did it live up to your expectations? |
| Another Birthday Worth Noting
|  We're not the only ones celebrating a special birthday. Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the Shelby Cobra. In the early 1960s Carroll Shelby, a Texas chicken farmer turned champion race driver, had the audacity to think he could start his own car manufacturing company. To further emphasize the gargantuan proportions of his vision, Shelby decided his company would manufacture nothing but ultra-high-performance sports cars, beginning with the landmark Cobra, introduced in 1962. To the amazement of everyone except Ol' Shel' himself, Shelby Automobiles succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations, building cars that would provide the benchmarks for performance (benchmarks that stand to this day) and winning world championships in the process. Shelby Cobra Fifty Years is a complete history of Shelby's Cobra sports cars. Beginning with a prologue about the events that led up to Shelby's decision to build a high-performance sports car, the main portion of the book tells the history of the production Cobra street cars and race cars, ending with an epilogue about the continuation cars. |
A Definitive History
|  Jaguar's E-Type may no longer be manufactured, but when it first rolled off the lines 50 years ago, it became an instant sensation. Manufactured between 1961 and 1975, its combination of good looks, high performance, and competitive pricing established the marque as an icon of 1960s motoring. More than 70,000 E-Types were sold during its lifespan.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the vehicle, Jaguar E-type: The Definitive History is an all-new updated edition of a classic book that was first published in 1989 and remained in print for 20 years. The E-type was, and still is, a uniquely charismatic and important British sports car -- and this remarkable book provides the ultimate tribute to it. With lots of new information and illustrations, and presented with handsome new design in a larger format, this book is a 'must-have' for all E-type |
