Hi folks -- the other day I received copy of a 1964 issue of Road and Track that had on its cover the photograph of a Porsche 904. Indeed, in 1964 that was the first (and in my memory only issue that year) that I purchased for fifty cents. I treasured that copy, and read and re-read it many times over the next year or so. That car could go 150 mph! And it looked so different from the American cars I was familiar with! I have no idea what ever happened to the original -- perhaps thrown away with other stuff by my mother after I left for college), but I wonder to what degree that was responsible for my desire to own a Porsche in future years.
This blog will expand on themes and topics first mentioned in my book, "The Automobile and American Life." I hope to comment on recent developments in the automobile industry, reviews of my readings on the history of the automobile, drafts of my new work, contributions from friends, descriptions of the museums and car shows I attend and anything else relevant.
