Matt Hranek, a well-known figure in NYC men's style circles, returns with his second book, A Man & His Car. This beautifully crafted homage explores the object of many men's fascination through original, firsthand interviews. Jay Leno, famed car collector and host of Jay Leno's Garage, shares the tale of his oldest vehicle, a 1955 Buick Roadmaster he bought for just $350 and even slept in before making it big in L.A.

Kevin Costner opens up about his emotional bond with the Shelby Mustang he drove in Bull Durham, which he eventually added to his private collection. Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla’s chief designer who collaborated with Elon Musk on the Model S prototype, reveals that his love for cars began when he was just two years old. And then there’s Snoop Dogg with his legendary 1965 Cadillac "Snoop DeVille" convertible-no introduction needed.

The book also offers rare glimpses into some of the world’s most exclusive car collections, including the Petersen Automotive Museum and major manufacturers like Fiat and Ford. Readers get a look at Steve McQueen’s favorite, a 1956 Jaguar XKSS; Elvis Presley’s 1971 DeTomaso Pantera, complete with bullet holes from when he fired shots inside the car; and a unique 24-karat gold-plated 1980 DeLorean DMC-12, which was exclusively available to American Express Gold Card members through their 1980 catalog.

Each story is paired with exquisite photos showcasing every detail-from head-on views and hood ornaments to wheels and full-body shots. Thanks to Hranek’s storytelling, these cars transcend mere transportation or status symbols, embodying pop culture moments, groundbreaking achievements, cherished heirlooms, and lasting friendships.
