Automobile Quarterly: The Car Book That Keeps on Giving
Filed in archive American Specials , Books , Gifts by Philip Powell on December 20, 2007
If you're into that "last-minute" state of panic this Christmas, here's something that will appeal to anyone who loves classic cars, and you can order it online or by phone. I'm suggesting a subscription to "Automobile Quarterly", one of the finest auto books available anywhere. Because it is published four times annually the lucky recipient gets to enjoy your gift all over again, every three months! Automobile Quarterly is a hardcover publication noted for quality printing and articles by renowned writers, backed by superb photography. For example, the current issue features an article about "Jesse Herbert Newport, Jr." Often referred to as J. Herbert Newport or Herb Newport, he began his career as an automobile designer, switched to industrial design, then returned to automobiles. Newport created elegant bodies for Deusenberg (like the Bohman & Schwartz Town Car above) and the famous Mormon meteor
. Other fascinating stories in this issue include Sam Posey: An Uncontrolled Force, Cadillac's Thirty and General Motors, The Patch Collection: '57 Heaven, and Squaring Motor Sport's Circle with Max Mosley. A 1-year subscription is $79.95. "Order it here" or call 886-838-2886 for a special $5.00 Christmas gift discount.
