MASCOTS in MOTION
Images and Stories of Automotive Aesthetics
By Steve Purdy

A great gift for someone who has a passion for automotive and supporting AWAF's scholarship program too.

THE BOOK - When we think about a gift for a friend, customer, client, partner, contractor, employee, or anyone for that matter, this book is sure to be a delight. The recipient may appreciate automotive art, design, history, or they might just like the colorful, creative photography. MASCOTS in MOTON is primarily an “art book,” or a coffee-table book, if you prefer; 40 years of Purdy's photography exploring the aesthetics and the history of automobile design details like mascots, hood ornaments, side mounts, grilles, trims, and other ephemera. The images were shot at the most elegant classic car shows, as well as junk yards, back yards, and other surprising venues. Some images are representational, many a bit abstract.

This 5-pound book with “French” jacket, 314 pages, 320 images, 50,000 words, embossed fabric hard cover, silk ribbon bookmark, the finest paper, and professional design, comes in a custom shipping box.

Cost: $90 plus $10 shipping. Put AWAF in the inscription box* and $20 of the sale will be donated to AWAF.
