It's Only Original Once: Unrestored Classic Cars
Rare are the collector cars untouched by time or restorers--cars that still wear their original parts, paint, upholstery, and trim. Rare and immensely valuable. These are the survivors that collectors sometimes call “time capsule cars,” automobiles that capture the period in which they were built. And these are the cars pictured and profiled in this book in all their original glory. Survivor cars are the highlights of collector-car auctions around the world, the stars of their class at prestigious concours such as Pebble Beach, Meadow Brook, and Amelia Island; and the automotive royalty at both Bloomington Gold and the Mopar Nats. It’s Only Original Once chronicles the most important of these cars, from early models like a 1930 Oakland Roadster and a 1937 Packard to later favorites such as a 1971 Charger R/T and a 1972 GTO. And like the cars themselves, the book takes the reader on a trip through time. And like the cars themselves, the book takes the reader on a trip through time. .

The Only Girl in the Car
The Only Girl in the CarBookworm and dreamer, Kathy was a young girl with a tender heart, an adventurer’s spirit, and a child’s terrible confusion about her proper place in the world. As the oldest daughter in a family of six children, she seemed trapped in her role as Big Sister and Mommy’s Helper. Then, one day, teetering on the brink of adolescence, hormones surging, she heard someone call her “cheesecake,” and suddenly saw her path. “Cheesecake, jailbait, sex kitten”--the very words seemed to be “doors opening” to a splendid new self. But from the moment she decides to lose her virginity and reels in her prey, a “full-grown man,” fourteen-year-old Kathy is headed for trouble. One cold, raw March night some months later, parked in a car with four boys on the outskirts of her small suburban town, she finds it. Though she could never have foreseen the outcome of that night, the “boys in the car could just as well have been Gypsies foretelling my future,” she writes. Girls who break the rules in small towns like the one she lived in are expected to pay a very high price for their transgressions--and she did. And yet...this young girl, as scrappy a protagonist as any in our literature, manages to transform her fate. The story of how she came to be in that car, and how she stepped out of it forever altered, to be sure, yet not forever damaged, is the theme of this extraordinary coming-of-age tale. From the Hardcover edition..
