The Americans - Beautiful Machines celebrates the likes of the Mustang, Gran Torino, Corvette, and many of the other classic models that put American automobiles firmly into the 20th Century American zeitgeist. It tells the story of the most iconic cars, their makers, and their era. The book also touches upon the art deco elegance of the Cord, post war optimism, the surf and muscle era, and much more, celebrating the most emblematic, visionary, and iconic automobiles in the history of United States manufacturing. Its predecessor, The Italians – Beautiful Machines, won the Design award of the Motorworld Book Prize in 2024. In November 2024, Aether in Los Angeles, USA, will be hosting an event for the launch of the book.
