From New England to the desert Southwest, hidden automotive treasures are pictured resting (and rusting) away in scenic American settings. Featuring Hemmings' trademark humorous writing, the full-color book compiles some of the best photos from the publisher's popular calendars, in addition to never-before-published gems. This entertaining book puts a unique twist on the before-and-after angle by including print advertisements from each vehicle's first days on the new car market.

Far Beyond the Traditional,
This review is from: Abandoned Autos (Paperback)
"Abandoned Autos" examines some of the subtleties of American automobile culture. The photos contained in this work range from vehicles rediscovered in farmers' fields, to several with trees growing through the engine compartment. Such photos are then contrasted wth corporate promotional literature from when the vehicles were new. Excellent stuff for readers who are lured by the path less travelled and can appreciate the beauty and even sadness embodied in these cultural icons depicted well past their prime.
