introduction / Table of Contents Your Own Personal Time Machine Every car is built according to the re- sources in its era. that sit high in the air on skinny tires tell you that wagon trails were the highways of the day. The skinny tires fit into the wagon ruts, and the bodies sat high on the wheels for more ground clearance. In one afternoon, you can see how we have transitioned from buggies without horses to 200-mph . You can see how our culture moved from the stodgy cars of the 1940s to the sexy Mus- tangs the Baby Boomers wanted to drive. The automobile and the personal mobility it affords made it, in my estimation, the most important invention of the 20th century. You’d have to go to a dozen museums to see the array of cars that a typical concours has on display. Take your time looking at the cars and examining the information cards on them. If the owner is nearby, ask him or her why they bought the car and how long they have had it. Ask your family to pick their favorite cars and have them tell you why. Let your day at a concours be a visit to the Disneyland of Mobility, where the dreams of designers and engineers have been coming true for over 100 years. — Keith Martin, Publisher, Sports Car Market ■
