Get ready to rev your engines because we’re talking about the Race of Gentlemen, aka “TROG,” the ultimate celebration of American hot rod culture. Decked out in leather-strapped pilot goggles and sporting long, wiry beards, the participants of this yearly event gather on the sandy beaches of Wildwood, New Jersey to show off their vintage cars, motorcycles, and weathered machines.

But it’s not all about competition – camaraderie is just as important as speed at The Race of Gentlemen. And this amazing book published by Assouline captures the event in stunning detail. With a foreword by artist Robert Williams, an introduction by Chris Nelson, and commentary from the race’s founder, Mel Stultz, you’ll feel like you’re right in the thick of the action.

Speaking of Robert Williams, this American painter, cartoonist, and founder of Juxtapoz Art + Culture magazine is a force to be reckoned with. His mix of California car culture, cinematic apocalypticism, and film noir has helped to create a new genre of psychedelic imagery, coveted by collectors such as Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Debbie Harry. So buckle up and get ready for a wild ride with The Race of Gentleman and Robert Williams.

The book retails for $120 and can be purchased on Assouline.com.
