Regular Edition: Order through Amazon
It’s every
car-guy’s fantasy—to casually peer into a long-forgotten garage or barn or
warehouse and find the car he has searched for his whole life. Corvette in
the Barn is a
collection of true, often amazing, stories and essays about car collectors and
enthusiasts who have discovered unusual and desirable cars, forgotten in all
manner of locations from barns, to old-school junkyards, to farmer’s fields.
From Corvettes to These are the stories that fuel the dreams of car collectors
everywhere.
The
barn-find series began with Tom Cotter’s love for driving down country roads in
search of interesting cars. Back up a bit—the series really began because
Cotter loves cars, and, like most of us who do, he dreamt of finding one in an
old barn. He gathered all the stories he could find about such “lost” cars in
his 2005 book, The Cobra in the Barn. The book became a national phenomenon that resonated with
car buffs around the world. Cotter followed up with two other wildly popular
books, The Hemi in the Barn and The Vincent in the Barn. Motorbooks is proud to bring the
next book in the series to enthusiast bookshelves: The Corvette in the Barn.
