“From early hot rods and lowriders to modern tuning,” custom car culture is nothing new and it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. With that in mind, Gestalten is taking a look back at its evolution over the years with The Drive. Shining a spotlight on custom cars and their builders alike, The Drive looks at the handcrafted creations and their subversiveness while showcasing everyone from Ken Block and Magnus Walker to innovators like Ringbrothers and ICON and legends like George Barris and RE-Amemiya. Packed full of photo spreads, profiles, and essays, The Drive has a little something for everyone — whether you’re into European sports cars or widebodies, the tome has you covered.

Clocking in at 400 pages, The Drive: Custom Cars and Their Builders will be available at bookstores and online later this month.
