Rezensionen / Stimmen
"A great gift for car and motorcycle buffs."- "Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "" " "This is a great book for fans of the actor or his vehicles, and it's the most interesting car book issued this year." - "The Virginian Pilot " "Car and motorcycle enthusiasts will love this book, but so will people (namely baby boomers) who were fans of Steve McQueen. While the book looks at a specific part of the late actor's life - his rides and passion for racing - it also reveals much about the man." -" Omaha World-Herald ""
"""This book is a fantastic gift to give fans of McQueen as it carefully chronicles his career and the details of his iconic autos and motorbikes. A must-see!" - MonstersAndCritics.com"
