In this episode, I sit down with Steve Purdy — writer, photographer, producer, and automotive historian — to discuss his stunning new art book, Mascots in Motion. This beautifully crafted coffee table book celebrates over 40 years of photographing the details of special cars and sharing their stories.

Featuring more than 300 original images captured “in the wild” at events and venues across the country, Mascots in Motion explores the artistry, culture, and history behind some of the world’s most captivating automotive mascots and design details. Steve shares his creative process, the stories behind his favorite shots, and what it means to preserve automotive art through photography and storytelling.

This book — designed and produced by Michigan-based, award-winning publisher M.J. Jacobs, LLC — is a must-have for anyone who loves art, automotive design, history, and culture.
