More About This Book

Overview

It’s every car lover’s fantasy: the perfectly preserved classic automobile discovered under a blanket in some great-granny’s garage. And as author Tom Cotter has discovered time and again, it’s a fantasy that can come true. The Hemi in the Barn offers more than forty stories of amazing finds and automotive resurrections. Avid collectors big and small recall the thrills of the hunt, the tips and hunches followed, clues pursued, the heart-stopping payoff. There’s the forgotten Duesenberg—probably one of the last unrestored ones around—that Jay Leno found in a Burbank garage. Unbelievably, Leno found another Duesenberg in a parking garage in New York City—a car that was parked in 1933 and never moved. There’s a Plymouth Superbird found buried in a hedge in Alabama. There’s the rescue of the first 1955 Corvette ever built. As entertaining as these tales are, they’re also full of tantalizing hints and suggestions for readers setting off on their own adventures in automotive archaeology.

Tom Cotter writes regularly for Road & Track and has a deep-seated love for automotive rescue. One of his best-known saves, a neglected Shelby Cobra, was chronicled by Peter Egan in Road & Track. Tom has been in and around cars all of his life and built up one of the most successful PR agencies in motorsports, with a client list that included Lowe’s, McDonalds, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Dodge, Pontiac, BMW, John Deere, UPS, General Foods, Sears, and Speed. Cotter resides in Davidson, North Carolina, with his family and a garage full of collector cars.

Editorial Reviews

Still Runnin Magazine
For years I thought I was the only person who was looking behind sheds, barns and garages while traveling, but I was mistaken. There are a lot of us out there. I think you will find yourself taking this book with you should you find quiet time during your day. A great gift for that gearhead on your list.

    If you are an old car enthusiast..."Hemi in the Barn" is great fun!

    "Hemi in the Barn" is a great read for car lovers of any persuasion. We all want to find that rare car in an old garage or barn....waiting to be rediscovered! Some of the stories leave you wanting more details, but the overall stories are very interesting. Would be nice to see a follow-up book that revisits some of these cars, and tells what has happened since the car was discovered, or if the restoration is done, etc. Also, would like to have seen more photos of each car in each story.
