Publisher’s Grid
Dear friends of speed and style,
Rev’s & Redlines Founder and Publisher, D. Paul Graham
Most of us remember the exact moment we fell in love with cars. Maybe it was hearing a Ferrari 512 BB or Jaguar E-Type snarl past on a country road. Maybe it was watching a ’69 Camaro Z/28 fire up in your neighbor’s driveway, or seeing a Porsche 930 Turbo squat and surge away from a stoplight like it was angry at the pavement. For others, it began with posters. The Countach, the F40, the McLaren F1, or the first time a Lexus LFA, Porsche Carrera GT, or Bugatti Chiron let out a sound that didn’t seem possible from something with wheels. Wherever your moment lives, whether it was inside a Jeep Wagoneer on a family trip, behind the wheel of a Miata, watching the F1 in Monaco on Wide World of Sports, or trackside watching a C8.R scream down a straight, we’re here because cars move us. Not just across asphalt, but through memory, imagination, and emotion.
Welcome to the first issue of Revs & Redlines Magazine.
This magazine is a love letter to the automobile in all its forms. From the humble steel of a daily driver tucked in a suburban garage, to the poetic symmetry of coach-built Ferraris arranged on a Pebble Beach fairway, to the thunderous adrenaline of a GT3 grid release. We believe every car, regardless of horsepower, heritage, or provenance, has a story to tell. And more importantly, cars have the power to make us feel something.
Revs & Redlines isn’t just about machines. It’s about moments. It’s about the hush of a private collection where legends sleep under silk covers, the intimacy of a night drive with the windows down and your thoughts riding shotgun, or the heart beat you hear in your ears just before a green flag drops. It’s about your breathing synced to tach needles, and memories traced in exhaust notes.
Our mission is to explore car culture, where elegance meets obsession, and where design, history, and speed collide. You’ll find essays, profiles, photography, and storytelling that range from vintage icons to modern marvels, from the green hills of Amelia Island to the banking of Imola.
This magazine is for the daydreamers and the die-hards. For those who see cars not just as tools or toys, but as art, expression, and escape. If a single taillight disappearing into the fog can stir your soul, then this publication is for you.
Thank you for joining us at the starting line. This premier issue focuses on the 74th Pebble Beach Concours d ’Elegance. My sixth year covering that amazing event. May every page here make your pulse quicken and remind you why you fell in love with four-wheels in the first place.
Thank you for spending some time with Revs & Redlines. Let me know what you think. I will appreciate your feedback!
