Havannas Markenzeichen? US-Straßenkreuzer vor kolonialer Kulisse. Doch wie kam es dazu? Die Kubaner sind seit jeher verrückt nach Autos. In den 1950er-Jahren war die Insel wichtigster Exportmarkt der US-Autoindustrie, bis die Revolution die Wirtschaftsbeziehungen abrupt trennte. Doch die Chevys, Cadillacs und Buicks wurden mit viel Liebe und Improvisationsgeschick am Leben erhalten - bis heute. Kubas Automobilkultur in farbgewaltigen Bildern!
It’s every motorcyclist’s dream. A friend or acquaintance says, “You know, there’s an old bike that’s been sitting in this garage for years.” The hunt is on. And rather than the usual worthless Hondazukimaha pile of hopeless oxidation, at the back of that barn you find a genuine classic, the motorcycle collector’s dream. The Vincent in the Barn tells forty such stories--tales of motorcycle hunting dreams come true. From Ducatis in basements to Vincents abandoned in sheds, Harleys in barns to Brit bikes moldering behind urban garages, these are the stories that fuel every motorcyclist’s fantasies. The only difference? They’re true.

"Tom Cotter travels cross country on the Lincoln Highway, America's oldest transcontinental highway, in America's first mass-produced car, Henry Ford's Model T. From the clamor of Manhattan, through mid-America and the dusty West, and on to San Francisco: along the way Cotter considers what we've gained and what we'll lose as we speed toward a future of driverless cars. Illustrated throughout with Michael Alan Ross' evocative photos."--Provided by publisher
