I pride myself on carefully packing books for mailing. This beautiful volume will be packaged very well. Read my reviews; see what others have to say about my packing. First I books them in kraft paper, then bubble wrap, before the book goes into a padded mailer. Multiple-book-orders receive a refund for unused postage charges. All photos are the actual book I'm offering for sale; no stock pics from me. No artificial-intelligence-generated copy, either. I write the words and take the pics. If you have questions or would like to see additional photos, please ask.


This book has been praised and reviewed in Old Cars magazine, the AACA’s Antique Automobile, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club Newsletter, the Society of Automotive Historians’ Journal and more!

Your book is fantastic! I especially like how you’ve organized the information into chapters that tell the story in an easy to grasp manner. It’s a lot of information to digest!

It’s stunning. It’s absolutely perfect. There’s not a bad page on it. It’s a Pebble Beach concours winner.

It’s terrific and I’d never seen many of the photos.
