If you love stories of automotive adventure, this is the book for you!. That wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that these shows are the only TV shows for the barn-find collector car aficionado.Barn Find Road Trip is the antidote to all the manufactured collector "reality" shows. The result? The discovery of over 1,000 collector cars and some of the most amazing barn-find stories Cotter has yet unearthed, all accompanied by Ross' evocative photography. This trip is absolutely real and the same kind of junket any gearhead with the skills, knowledge, and time can undertake.Cotter and company hit the road in Cotter's 1939 Ford Woody, the kind of car that opened doors and started the conversations that revealed where interesting cars were squirreled away. Great collector cars are still out there--just waiting to be found!Sadly, there is very little reality in reality TV. It's a real-world, barn-find banzai run in which auto archaeologist Tom Cotter, his car collector pal Brian Barr, and photographer Michael Alan Ross embarked on a 14-day collector-car-seeking adventure with no predetermined destinations
