During the 1950s and early 1960s, under presidents Dwight D Eisenhower and John F Kennedy, America’s car industry boomed. Hand in hand with this, the rise of rock ’n’ roll, the space age, and beautiful roadside diners, bars, coffee shops and gas stations gave the US a sense of purpose and pride. Ashok Sinha has developed a passion for the car culture and the roadside architectural creations of this era, which is celebrated in his debut photo book, Gas and Glamour.
Although he is based in New York, Sinha made frequent visits to Los Angeles for over five years to research, visit and shoot most of the iconic roadside LA establishments that were still in business. The resulting book is an homage to the sheer beauty and originality of these buildings.
