The stories behind these remarkable buildings and the collections they contain reflect the unique personalities and passions of their owners. There’s the Jaguar collector who plans to move his house to make room for an enlarged garage the Michigan native who hosts the industry’s top car designers at weekly gatherings on his farm outside Detroit; and a retired newspaper owner who drives his vintage Formula 1 Ferrari on a test track built next to his eight-car garage.
Loaded with anecdotes from each owner and illustrated with hundreds of full-color photographs, Ultimate Garages II is the ultimate insider’s tour of the distinctive homes of nearly every type of car: from concours-winning Duesenbergs and Pierce-Arrows, to classic hot rods and retired racers.
