Behind the Motometer

If you're at the wheel of a Model T Ford, you're sitting... Behind the Motometer.

Looking back through the rear view mirror, this collection of nostalgic stories by Robert I."Bob" Frey celebrates the people of rural America and the cars, trucks, and tractors that affected their lives.

For years, Bob's cantankerous yet sentimental writings have been a regular feature of the newsletter of the Lehigh Valley Antique Automobile Association. The wry tales show a deep respect for hard-working individuals: immigrants struggle on their quest for the American Dream; indomitable dogs chase things they'd be better off not catching; a family resurrects Grandfather's rusted old car, returning it to chromed glory. Now, for the first time, a selection of these stories is bound together for everyone who loves classic cars and hard-scrabble (but classy) people.
