RIDE: The Most Iconic Wheels of the Silver Screen

RIDE: The Most Iconic Wheels of the Silver Screen is another special release from Tra Publishing, aimed at Bond collectors and people interested in movie cars and design.

Part art book, part film history, RIDE is a lush, visually driven tribute to the most memorable vehicles ever to grace the big screen.

The book features over 30 cars seen in movies, including two James Bond cars.

This large and heavy book is similar in its design to the LAIR book released by the same publishers in 2019.

Each chapter explores the origin story of the car in its cinematic role - how it was chosen, modified, and immortalized - featuring insights from filmmakers, prop designers, collectors, and automotive experts.

RIDE is more than a book about cars - it’s a book about meaning. Why did James Bond need a silver Aston Martin? What made the DeLorean the perfect vehicle for time travel? How did Mad Max’s Interceptor come to represent a post-apocalyptic worldview? With rich commentary and thoughtful essays, the book reveals how these machines became narrative devices, cultural symbols, and even fashion statements.

It also features a foreword by Jay Leno and interviews with directors, designers, stunt coordinators, and prop builders.
