Description
Dan Manning has assembled this humorous and informative collection of stories that range from when his grandfather began selling the first Cadillac cars in a small central Kansas town, to his own experiences with cars from the 1940s to present day. One of the main subjects is a mid-night blue 1928 Whippet 2-door coach that Manning bought from its original owner that has become a member of the family. He and his wife, Betty, had their first date in this car. It would have been used as their wedding’s getaway vehicle fty years ago if she had not said they ought to hide the Whippet, or her fun-loving relatives would do something mischievous with it. So, that’s how the old car ended up in his dad’s care until Dan completed his service in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War, lived and worked in Los Angeles, and moved in the 1970s to the Missouri Ozarks to raise three children in a much better atmosphere.
