What's Your Favorite Car?

Thumbnail image for WOFCcover_color72.jpgThe winner of last month's newsletter giveaway wrote a short paragraph about his dream car and won a free copy of Wheels of Change: From Zero to 600 m.p.h.: The Amazing Story of California and the Automobile by Kevin Nelson.

"My dream car would be a 1932 Ford three-window coupe, fiberglass replica, because you wouldn't want to hot rod an antique. It would have a 331 cu. in. flathead engine that would be ported, relieved, stroked, and bored so it could do 140 mph plus. Naturally, it would have a competition clutch with a four on the floor and a set of Lake pipes. And I would have the pink slip. This is the kind of car songs are written about."--Chuck

Chuck is a supporter of the Arizona Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. The organization offers classes and provides counseling and referrals to individuals, families, and other organizations.

Win a Copy of Wheels of Change!

Thumbnail image for WOFCcover_color72.jpgWe're a little obsessed with cars this month thanks to a new book that's coming out in November about California's car culture. Wheels of Change: From Zero to 600 m.p.h.: The Amazing Story of California and the Automobile by Kevin Nelson tells the story of California's long, enthusiastic love affair with cars.

Our free giveaway this month is (can you guess?) a copy of Wheels of Change. To win, email news@heydaybooks.com before November 6, and tell us about your dream car (or would you choose not to own a car?) in under 100 words. One winner will be chosen at random and will be given the opportunity to highlight a nonprofit group in our next e-newsletter. We're planning on reprinting your entry in our blog and our next newsletter, so if you'd rather remain anonymous, please mention this in your submission.
