Driving Southern
Corvettes and Thunderbirds are parked next to Studebakers, Beetles, and, in some cases, cars that may defy description of any kind in this collection of twenty-six original essays and stories about first cars, family cars, and even dream cars that traveled the highways and backroads of the authors' lives. Often hilarious, sometimes bittersweet, the stories are about growing up—although for some of us, where cars and trucks are concerned, we never quite do.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Ralph Bland and Mike Braswell have assembled a collection of short stories by Southern authors who tell of long-gone but memorable sports cars, sedans, and convertibles under their care many years ago. Within this collection, readers will recall the good days of cruising drive-ins with love interests and relive the disappointment of flat tires and car theft. Readers will reimagine long-lost loves in the car you wish you had never gotten rid of, the one named for the special girl in your life!”

—Skip Nipper, author, Baseball in Nashville
