99 Nicknamed Classic Cars
Nicknames have to be earned. They are tokens of appreciation given only when people have built a special relationship to something (or someone). From the Chevrolet 3100 Pickup “Bubble Maker” and the Citroën DS “Goddess,” all the way back to Ford’s “Tin Lizzy,” this book presents ninety-nine classic cars and race cars, illustrated with great talent and affection by Helge Jepsen, with informative texts cleverly penned by Michael Köckritz. Just like the vehicles portrayed, this book will drive its way right into the heart of any car lover.
- Classics of automotive history, more exquisitely rendered than ever before
- “Beetle,” “Black Widow,” and “Pony”—true gearheads don’t think of animals when they hear these names
- Please, no honking! Readers will be in seventh automotive heaven

Later, magazines including Stern, Spiegel, Men’s Health, Playboy, Wirtschaftswoche, and ramp became aware of his talents. Since completing his studies in communications design, Jepsen has made his home in Essen, Germany.
