Being a car enthusiast isn’t an easy feat. Not only do you have to have some serious love for cars but they always know so much about them. They can tell you so many fascinating things about cars that most people wouldn’t even be able to fathom. For me, I have multiple car enthusiasts in my family. So much so that when I’m looking for gifts for birthdays or holidays I always start by looking for gifts for car lovers. So because I feel like I’m always searching for cool car lover gift ideas, I figured I’d put together a list of awesome items that the car enthusiast in your life will probably love too. Enjoy!
3) Classic Cars: A Definitive Visual History
Say what you will about coffee table books, but this one is awesome. It features “more than 250 iconic models from the 1940s to the 1980s, photographed from every angle.” The book was edited by award-winning automotive journalist Giles Chapman and looks at the various stories behind “more than 20 great marques, including household names Bentley, Mercedes, Ferrari, Cadillac, and Aston Martin.” This is one of those collectibles that every car lover Must Have.
4) Real Cars Don’t Shift By Themselves Shirt
For all of you manual/stick shift lovers out there, you know this is the shirt for you. Might as well grab it to show your pride.
6) Engine Timing Gear & Chain Wall Clock
That’s one way to repurpose something. This is a really unique wall clock that any car enthusiast would be sure to love.
7) Just One More Car Tee
Here’s a great find for the folks who definitely are car collectors. Car collecting is serious business and let’s face it can get pretty expensive, but we all know they’re awesome to look at. This would be a great t-shirt gift for the car collector in your life.
8) Classic Cars: 60 Years of Driving Excellence
Coffee table books are seriously one of my favorite things to look at. And for car enthusiasts, this is definitely another one you won’t want to skip out on. This book was released just this year and features 78 different vehicles spanning from the 30s through the 80s.
11) Car Floor Mat Coasters
I honestly think these are super fun and such a great gift idea. Coasters are one of those fun trinket types of gifts and these definitely scream you need it if you’re a car lover.
13) 1965 Ford Mustang Vintage Desktop Thermometer Clock
Boy that was a mouthful to read and type! But we saved the best for last here. This is a replica of the 1965 Ford Mustang’s instrument panel. It functions as a working clock and thermometer, so it’s one of those items that will easily sit with pride on any desk or mantle.
