\"\"<\/a>Limited Edition Mustang Sculpture<\/h3>\n

For many fans of automotive design, the vintage Ford Mustang has long been considered a rolling work of art. Now, the iconic pony car has become a piece of fine art. As part of the 50 years of Mustang celebrations, U.K.-based artist Robin Bark has been licensed by Ford Motor Company to turn the Mustang into a limited-edition collectible sculpture cast in aluminum. Each casting is polished to a finished piece that is signed and numbered by the artist and placed in a commemorative wood box. No more than 500 of the 1965 Mustang fastback sculptures will be produced, and will be available through the artist\u2019s website, www.robinbark-motorart.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>VamPliers<\/h3>\n

This unique pair of pliers incorporates a novel design to solve screw extraction problems. VamPLIERS have uniquely designed concave shaped jaws with vertical and horizontal serrations on the inside of the jaws that make it possible to grab on to stripped\/rusted\/corroded screws or nuts for easy extraction.<\/p>\n

VamPLIERS can even grasp tamper-proof, or unique heads, such as those found on a Torx screw. These specialty pliers are made from treated, high-quality carbon steel from Kobe in Japan, have a smooth varnished finish, and have environmentally friendly elastomer ergonomic\u00a0handle grips.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Classic Cars Book\u00a0Ren\u00e9 Staud<\/h3>\n

Text by J\u00fcrgen Lewandowski<\/em><\/p>\n

New additions to the automotive market are judged primarily by efficiency or fuel consumption. Things are quite different for historical cars. Major car shows, from Pebble Beach to Villa d\u2019Este, feature classic cars that, although they may not achieve top marks in the wind tunnel, have a timeless elegance that makes the hearts of all aficionados skip a beat. The photographer Ansel Adams, who was an honorary judge at Pebble Beach, once defined them as, \u201cThe type of vehicle I would like to be buried in.\u201d From the Maserati Ghibli to the BMW 328 and Cisitalia, Ren\u00e9 Staud has shot automotive classics in settings ranging from the subtle to the spectacular. As co-organizer and head of the Car Selection Committee for Schloss Bensberg Classics, J\u00fcrgen Lewandowski provides brief supporting text for the images (presented in English, German, French, Russian and Chinese!) The Classic Cars Book conveys a real passion for these spectacular vehicles, appealing both to existing fans and those yet to fall under their spell. Large format, hardcover, 304 pages with 150 color photographs.<\/p>\n
