In addition, an introductory interview with Ralph Lauren explores the links between the cars and his overall designed philosophy, with nearly 200 color images by renowned photographer Michael Furman, plus rarely seen design sketches and period photographs with cars in action, this handsome, informative book will delight both rampant car enthusiasts and aficionados of great design.
