Product Description
World-class cars are the objects of desire for a special breed of automobile enthusiast, collectors who are as passionate about their cars as others may be about paintings, stamps, or watches. In this thrilling tour of 11 of the greatest private automobile collections in the world, readers are given access to an amazing realm that is rarely open to the public. "Wheels: A Passion for Collecting Cars celebrates these incredible collections along with the fanatical car lovers who have amassed them. Included in this intriguing volume are profiles of each car-obsessed collector: one houses more than 100 postwar bubble cars from Europe and Japan in his Georgia barn, while another has made room at his Napa Valley winery for his stellar collection of sports cars. Captured in gorgeous photographs taken in the exceptional environments their owners have created for them, these rare custom models, elegant 1930s town cars, sexy postwar European exotics, and fabulously finned cruisers will appeal to classic-car connoisseurs around the world.

a car books with a difference, 2005-03-12
Instead of simply presenting a parade of pretty cars, the author gives the reader a look into the collector's mind. The layout and photography are also exceptional. A must for anybody who appreciates wonderful objects.

It doesn't get any better, 2005-02-17
This is one of the finest automobile-related books I've ever seen. Not only are there great photos of some of the greatest cars in the world, but author Leuthner got to know each of the 11 car collectors on a personal basis. The result is an in-depth look at the men and their machines. Millions of dollars were layed out for these vintage masterpieces, and WHEELS gives them the respect they deserve. Very nice read, even though it's a coffee table type of book. That's rare.
