“Porsche fans will absolutely love this book.”

– Glenn Oyoung, LA Car

"The imagery is paired with Schwartz’s insightful and entertaining writing...My hat is off to every builder featured in [Cars Reimagined] Restomods: The New World Order of Handcrafted Cars for not only preserving these automotive icons, but for giving them new superpowers and securing their place in the hearts and minds of future generations."

– Glenn Oyoung, LA Car

"Geared toward auto design enthusiasts, [this book] features over 50 of the world's most elite builders and their reengineered classic cars that exist at the intersection of hyperperformance and heritage. Author Bill Schwartz showcases the cutting-edge technology and imagination of companies like Lunaz, Tuthill and Alfaholics that take restorations and upgrades of cars like a 1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, a 964-generation Porsche 9l1 and a 1970s Ford Bronco to the next level."

Nob Hill Gazette

"Bill Schwartz’s well-researched, 324-page hardback is a fascinating Who’s who of the industry, filled with 55 of the scene’s biggest movers and shakers – you’ll know your Revology from your Zero Labs in no time."

"Schwartz also explores the firms turning classics into battery-powered vehicles, the well-known marques making continuation models (such as Jaguar’s 2018 D-type) and those who are reviving old names. Each entry is accompanied by a small factfile, a biography, and quotes from owners, founders and CEOs."

Classic & Sports Car Magazine

 "While many enthusiasts prize originality and factory spec, others appreciate a blend of heritage style and new technology in their classics. Such updated machines are referred to as restomods, and are the subject of this first installment of ACC Art Books' new Cars Reimagined series. It includes current offerings from specialists such as Alfaholics, Eagle and Frontline plus established manufacturers like Bentley (Speed Six) and Jaguar (D-type Continuation). Porsche-inspired cars and all-terrain vehicles get around half the book devoted to them." 

Classic Car Weekly

“What makes for a good entry point into this particular world? Bill Schwartz’s new book Restomods: The New World Order of Handcrafted Cars turns the spotlight on the companies around the world that specialize in taking vintage cars and transforming them into something new.”

Boss Hunting

"Subtitled The New World Order of Handcrafted Cars, this is an overview of the restomod scene, containing profiles of over 50 of this elevated but eclectic arm of the auto industry. A modern restomod takes an established classic and gives it a contemporary make-over, not just restoring but modernising, enhancing and upgrading every conceivable element."

"A fascinating look at the new levels of craft and technology that have emerged to cater to the world of luxury mobility."
