These are the stories that fuel the dreams of car collectors everywhere.See Tom Cotter, author of Motorbooks “In the Barn” series, interviewed by Jay Leno on JayLenosGarage: jaylenosgarage/video/jays-book-club-the-hemi-in-the-barn/1237422/. 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
His words on hyphenated Americans, trusts, Cuban, Panamanian and Philippine policies, organized labor, stay at home moms, conservation, muckrakers, lynchings and a host of other issues are all laid out in this book. The escalation between intrusion evaders and detectors is an interesting one but I think IDS has the advantage in this go-round. I was waiting for this book to come out after reading the table of contents and which authors were writing the chapters. Despite several bits of self justification he doesn't place himself above others. Not much scares me. Specifically, the Law that "Any IDS can be Evaded" contains some material that is way out of date. Many of the standard Facebook tropes ("stealing/selling your data", "Zuck is evil", etc.) are explained for the misleading baloney that they are. this book gives you general information about security and some definitions. Oh yeah, it's on!. Of particular interest are his speeches at Osawatomie, Kansas and to the National Convention of the Progressive Party, which lay out his vision of the Progressive Party. it is lacking any of the photos or line drawings present in the smithsonian press version. Most wonderful and funny story. Wonderful to be able to buy a reprint of this classic tale - my original copy from the 1950's is battered and bruised great value for the money.. while it is possiThe book became a national phenomenon that resonated with car buffs around the world. 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. Here’s what the press had to say about The Hemi in the Barn:
"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. From the Inside Flap
The barn-find series began with Tom Cotter’s love for driving down country roads in search of interesting cars. He gathered all the stories he could find about such “lost” cars in his 2005 book, The Cobra in the Barn. Cotter followed up with two other wildly popular books, The Hemi in the Barn and The Vincent in the Barn. A great gift for that gearhead on your list."
