The TROG takes place annually in white-sand beach-clad Wildwood on the New Jersey Cape. It’s a celebration of the good old, lastingly cool, hot rod scene—one of America’s many beloved contributions to culture. The Race of Gentleman, from those purveyors of stylish coffee table books over at Assouline, covers this yearly congregation of gear-heads racing and celebrating, with 150 excellently-captured images.
And you don’t have to be a rebellious goggle-clad speedster to enjoy this lively publication. It’s curated by artist Robert Williams, known for his cinematic aesthetic and focus on California car culture, as well as his several celeb patrons. Meaning, The Race of Gentleman would feel at home on the tables and libraries of car lovers of every ilk, art enthusiasts, and history buffs. Not least of which, is thanks to the ochre-hued faux leather binding that’s illustratively embossed, giving it a gentleman-adventurer vibe.
