Synopsis

Rhode Island's Old Cars Today: 1905 to 1949 includes over 200 automobiles in full color photographs of this time frame. It takes the reader from the infancy of the automobile to the very beginning of the major changes started by the "Shoebox' Ford in 1949. The series include; 1950 to 1959, 1960 to 1969 and 1970 to 1979. Some folks have found the "one" and have no intention of restoring it. They drive it and enjoy it. Some have done unbelievable custom body work and paint schemes. Each person has their own idea and story. The author has traveled from Woonsocket to Westerly and Nasonville to Newport in search of old cars and trucks to photograph. If it was not raining, he was at an event somewhere every day. People started commenting; "Ray must have cloned himself because he is everywhere." Raymond A. Wolf is a lifelong resident of the Village of Hope in the Town of Scituate, Rhode Island. He has written six history books in the Images of America series by Arcadia Publishing, six books in the Gramma Larson Remembers series and will have nine books published in the Today series.
