{"product_id":"9781462045181","title":"Cars I Loved and Lost","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Reddie was just twelve years old when his mother bought him his first car. It was a 1935 Plymouth rumble-seat coupe and cost just $15. This was the beginning of his lifelong love of and fascination with vintage American cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this memoir, Reddie gives a glimpse of his life as he reflects on all of the cars he’s owned and all of the cars he could have owned. From the misadventures to the successes, Cars I Loved and Lost narrates a trip down memory lane—from the first car that actually ran to the first car he actually drove. With a few repair tips included, Reddie’s story recalls fond memories through the lens of the automobile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eApparently I am not alone in my fondness for these gems. People invest considerable time and money into these cars, and why? Well, maybe they share my appreciation for them, in other words; they too grew up with these automobiles. They remind us of a different time, back when we were younger and carefree, when our biggest worry was having enough gasoline to get around for a day or so, even though it cost twenty five cents a gallon.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129394544880,"sku":"9781462045181","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462045181_p0.jpg?v=1763675883","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462045181","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
