Discovering Lost Automobiles and their Stories by Michael Ware is such a fun read. I learned so much about both the "found" cars and the people who owned them. I think most people have a certain attraction to finding hidden gems, whether automobiles or other collectibles (for me it is probably books, record albums, and sports cards). Seeing how so many vehicles came to be uncovered, as well as the stories about how they ended up "lost," makes for fascinating reading. I can't imagine having a car and just letting it sit in less-than-ideal conditions for years. But then I have never owned more than three cars at one time and had a purpose for each, so my income bracket probably plays into my ability to understand. Even with all of the amazing vehicles mentioned here the one that caused me to go and look up more pictures as well as more of the backstory was the Manta Ray Concept Car, built on a Studebaker frame by a couple of engineers and a true one of a kind, as in there is only one.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars As a SAAB owner, I was curious about the book and enjoyed learning about those of us who are SAAB enthusiasts. From the first one I owned, a 9-3 Convertible, I knew instinctively this was my car. It was refreshing to read in the book that indeed, there are people who are SAAB people and, conversely, people who are not. My husband is one who is not, and when we first saw my first SAAB, when I told him that was what I wanted, he insisted that no, I didn't. One test drive behind the wheel was all it took. Reading this book helped me understand and perhaps put into words much of how I feel as a SAAB owner. It was fascinating to learn the history of the car I love so much, even though people would now say I don't own a "true SAAB", being on my third one which is a 2008. Still, My 9-3 was the car of my heart, much as is explained by Mr. Cole in this book. It helped me understand why I feel as I do toward my car and it put into words much of what I've been trying..
