Synopsis

Every vehicle shown here has been personally lusted after, bargained over, dolled up, sent to finishing school, and then featured in a well-written advertisement as something worth having. Some had been driven hard with no care or concern. Others have a celebrity history Ð a seat cushion that once supported a famous posterior. A few were sweet pampered originals, sporting original paint and low miles. At one time, they were driven home proudly and displayed like the Christ child. Dad as proud as a hunter, home with meat for the entire village. Wives telephoned other wives to brag about the new gleaming trophy in their driveway. Children taunted the neighbor kids with cries of ÒWeÕve got a new carÑand you donÕt.Ó In later life, most were abused or ignored and demoted from the car you show off to the one you donÕt want to be seen in. The ones that have a history witnessed in small dents, minor rust, and hard-earned patina - those are the cars I like. Features hundreds of photographs and illustrations.
