Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing is new under the sun and classic cars books come and go. But here, instead of a heavy, large, glossy book of classic car images and details destined to stay on a shelf, is something new. This book is designed to be read as a companion, a book that can go in the car or on a 'plane, and which can be read in full, or dipped into anywhere for a classic car fix. Old stories and new details are presented and cover all eras of our cars. Gathered here is a compilation of the author's published and unpublished adventures and opinions about the design and the driving of some of the greatest cars in motoring history. From 'vintagent' to 'modern classic', pristine to oily-rag, up hill, down dale and across continents, award-winning motoring author, designer and serial classic car owner, Lance Cole, charts the great classic car enthusiasm in a series of engaging essays about cars, car design and the men that made the motor industry. From tales of Malcolm Sayer to Bedelia, and of BMW, Jaguar, Bugatti and Porsche, to tales of old Saabs and rusty Citroens, classic car life is here. Erik Carlsson, Jacques Gerin, Giovanni Michelotti and Innes Ireland are just a few of the names that can be found in these pages. From design to driving, here is a book that is a classic car adventure.

Book excerpt: Exotics such as Bugatti, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari and Maserati mix it with Fords, Austins, MGs and many more in a roller-coaster of blow-ups, crashes, fixes, bodges, bleeding knuckles and speeding tickets! This is a collection of often hilarious true stories from the 1920s to the present day, written by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. Funny, informative, thrilling, inspiring and heart-warming. You can almost smell the 5-star fuel and the hot Castrol R! During the past few decades the values of classic cars have skyrocketed. Many popular models are now priced well beyond the reach of most regular enthusiasts, unless they were fortunate enough to own - or have access to - classic cars when they were little more than cheap transport for youngsters and eccentrics! This book brings together tales, not of investors and playboys, but of ordinary 'car people'. Call them what you will: Petrolheads, car guys (and gals), Gearheads... we all know what we are and we can recognise a fellow 'sufferer' in seconds. There are stories here of help from mums and dads, of winds fixed with filler, and engines botched together just well enough to survive another week's motoring. There are stories of intrepid foreign adventures, of racing, sprinting, rallying, and just plain getting down and oily with the machines we love. So fold down that main screen, adjust the little 'Aeros', stick on your goggles and join us for a high-octane ride from the past to the present! Richard McCann has spent a lifetime collecting, restoring and racing many exciting vintage and classic sports cars and racing cars. In this book he brings together a collection of stories from the 1920s to the present day, involving the exploits of enthusiasts from all walks of life - but all 'car crazy' and each with a great tale to tell!

Book excerpt: Personal stories of collecting and restoring classic cars - Packard, Lamberghini, GTO, Studebaker, Cadillac, Thunderbird, Mercedes-Benz, and more. Includes 32 full color photos of restored classic cars. "... a 'must read' for those of us who truly love the automobile." -- Jay Leno. From the Introduction: This book is not about Zen. Nevertheless, Zen pervades its pages. Anecdotally, it's about the hunt for and occasional capture of unique motorcars by one man over a period of six decades. This book details a lifetime of searching, finding, buying, transporting, restoring, enjoying, and eventually selling the products of a hobby gone wild. Reading these true stories of one man's lifelong car-collecting avocation, you'll find the journey seldom follows the anticipated path. As with life itself, there are sudden turns, frequent stops, and frustrating conditions, events, and outcomes. It's probably better to recognize these through others' experiences, rather than stumbling into the pitfalls and darker elements of car collecting on your own and without preparation. As I did. After you've read the car stories, and had an opportunity to observe mistakes made, and the adverse results that often follow, the book's concluding chapter will offer lessons learned across a -car-collecting lifetime. Take heed. These lessons could help prevent similar mistakes in your own collecting pursuits. Who knows, they might even save you from yourself.Looking back, I wish I'd found something similar sixty years ago to better prepare for the hobby's rigors. Many wasted hours and dollars might have been saved. Above all, these stories should illustrate the difference between learning as you go - flying by the seat of your pants - or gaining information and knowledge before stepping into the rewarding, but also daunting, hobby of collecting old cars. Take the lesson. -- Bruce Valley

Book excerpt: The book is a gentle, but interesting read about one man's automotive journey through life. This is a true account of these and many similar adventures which befell the author, a man who ambled through life adopting stray cars the way other people adopt stray cats. He came of automotive age during the 1960's, the golden age of muscle cars. Surrounded by Camaros, Mustangs, Super Birds, and their ilk, his dream car was a Stanley Steamer. (Looking back, the author admits it may not have been a coincidence that he didn't get many dates.) He never did get a Stanley, but over the years he drove thousands of miles in cars such as a Model A Ford, a Jaguar E-Type, a pair of mid-60's Chevy Impalas, a handful of MG's, and other memorable automobiles. These were not shiny classics when he drove them. They were rusted hulks that he rescued from the salvage yard. In his struggles to keep these rolling wrecks on the road he encountered people like Fr. Dupree, a reporter/pool shark turned Episcopal priest; Luis Riccotto, the proprietor of Riccotto and Sons Imported motors; and Otis Swineheart, a man of few words and fewer teeth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I've been writing classic car short stories for seven years, authoring over sixty and nearing 200,000 online "views." I decided to put together my favorite stories from the past, or at least those that seemed best for book format, as a "Greatest Hits" collection similar to Peter Egan's Side Glances. I've published a collection of twenty-six stories covering a wide cross-section of classic car culture. The cars discussed range from the cheapest old Ford truck to the most expensive Ferraris in the world. The adventures range from driving a 1957 M.G.A. in anger at an off-road race in a rock pit, to oogling million dollar cars at the Lime Rock Historics Festival. I'm a little sarcastic and often don't follow the crowd which adds some humor. The book is illustrated with pictures of some of the most famous cars in the world (Sterling Moss' Mille Miglia Mercedes SLR, Nuvolari's Alfa Romeo, Bentley Old Number One, etc).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many children’s books convey a certain message. WILL OLD RUSTY EVER GET TO GO TO THE CLASSIC CAR SHOW? is one of them. It is the story of an old ‘56 Sea Foam green Buick convertible who wants to go to the Classic Car Show. But she is an old rusted mess. Her owner Big Mike, a teenage boy named Bob, and Bob’s fond memory of his grandpa help to make Old Rusty’s dream come true. The message is “Hard work can make your dreams come true.” P.S. Oh, by the way, do you know that some fictional stories turn out to be true? In a small town, south west of Chicago, there is a real Bob who runs the Annual Classic Car Show. He has a restored ‘56 Sea Foam green Buick convertible. Awesome! This book is dedicated to grandparents everywhere and to the special bond that they share with their grandchildren. Of course, it is also dedicated to Bob Starzyk, his wife Bonnie, and all the Classic Car Show volunteers. “Hard work made your dreams come true.” Old Rusty and I sincerely thank Charlotte Moore for her gracious assistance in making dreams come true.
