You simply cannot stop car folks from coming together, even when the temperature is 37 degrees and it is snowing lightly! This event took place in a car garage, and so the engine noises were greatly amplified and the carbon monoxide levels high! I was most impressed with the number of young people in attendance, their enthusiasm, and the kind of cars that were there. This was not a gray-haired affair. And there were few older cars, although I did see my first Colt in at least 25 years. Not the style of custom the this generation favors -- colors, graphics, butterfly doors, aggressive looks, and creative design.
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.
