Now back to your regularly scheduled short book description...
From meeting a young bikini clad Jane Fonda look-alike waiting in the driver's seat of your brand new '65 Shelby Cobra in Malibu, to searching for a long lost '50 Tatra Tatraplan in an overgrown blackberry bush and coming across an even more amazing discovery, FOUND - The Lives of Interesting Cars & How They Were Discovered - brings you stories of other such amazing cars as a '67 Jaguar XK-E, '71 Hemi 'Cuda, '61 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Zagato, '48 Tucker Torpedo, '57 Ferrari Testa Rossa, '53 Corvette, '74 Land Rover Series III, '63 VW Westfalia and dozens more extremely interesting cars.
But what do they all have in common?
Read FOUND to find out!
Review :
Highly recommend for the "Gear Heads" out there.
I think anyone with an interest and love of cars will enjoy this book. The author's natural way with dialogue makes for an easy and interesting read. Some stories leave you hanging for a while but come around to satisfy in the end. After all the story is called "Found".
"Non-car guy" loves this book!
I loved this book!
I'm not necessarily a big car guy - more of a hands on, practical fixer upper of an old car (not to be confused with a classic, antique, vintage or any other designation that would ascribe more "value" to it than it actually has). However, much like the many subjects in Found, my vehicle holds many cherished memories: road trips, camping adventures, kids play dates, sports tournaments, school drop offs, dog beach outings, etc. It's as old as my oldest child, and older than my youngest. It's outlived our first Labrador, Molly, who rode it to the beach on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and now both of our mutts love to ride in the back, as they head for a Lake Michigan swim.
I recommend this book to anyone - and not necessarily just "car folks". The people stories surrounding these cars are compelling and engaging. And while I certainly don't own a fancy car, my humble vehicle and I (and my family) also have a tale or two - everyone has a story...
A must have for the car lover on your father's day shopping list
I can't think of a better father's day gift!
Found is a story of friendship, wrapped around the colorful lives of cars (mostly exotic) and the misadventures that caused them to be lost... and found. It was fun to see the disparate tales come together in the end.
For the Dad who likes cars, seriously this is the perfect gift!!!
