Description: Full Title: Classic Car Stories: Million Dollar Ferrari Sports Cars to Beat-Up Old Ford Trucks, Classic Mopar Hot Rods to Innovative Chevy Rat Rods, Vintage Trans Am Racing to Cars and Coffee MeetingsTwenty-six classic car stories covering a wide array of classic car culture. From racing a rolling restoration 1957 M.G.A. on an off-road rallycross track, to a lively discussion of whether cars should be considered art, the stories cross many sub-cultures.Story topics include: the history of road racing, restoration projects, swap meets, classic car shows, track days, autocross, time-speed-distance rallies, drag racing, adult soap-box racing and more. The stories take place across the nation, from the Portland (Oregon) International Raceway to the Lime Rock Historic Festival in Connecticut. The cars discussed range from the humble (M.G.B., Crosley, etc.), through American muscle (Shelby Cobra, Dodge Charger, etc.), to European beauty (pre-war Mercedes 500, Maserati, etc.). Racing stories span from the most amateur efforts by the author, to the stories of noted racers such as Nuvolari and Fangio.Many photographs accompany the text. The photographs capture many historic vintage machines including: Stirling Moss' Mille Miglia winning Mercedes 300 SLR, the historic Bentley Number One, Nuvolari's Alfa Romeo, vintage Ferrari 250 machines, etc. At times a little sarcastic, but mostly enjoying the hobby he chose, the author only wishes he could emulate his car stories hero, Peter Egan.Physical Attributes - Measures approx. 23 x 15 x 2.5 cm..
