Barrett-Jackson: The World's Greatest Collector Car Event » (REV)

Larry Edsall was snatched away from a career as a daily newspaper sports editor to join the staff of AutoWeek. He was managing editor for most of his 12 years at the nation’s leading weekly automotive magazine. He moved to Phoenix late in 1999 to modernize one automotive website and then launched another, iZoom.com.

Edsall also writes as a freelance contributor for daily newspapers and several automotive and lifestyle publications. His previous Motorbooks titles include Ford Racing Century: A Photographic History of Ford Motorsports (with Mike Teske), Ford GT: The Legend Comes to Life, Hummer H3, and Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Highlighting some of the most important collector cars ever offered, and featuring photographs from Barrett-Jackson’s extensive collection, Barrett-Jackson: World’s Greatest Collector Car Event follows the unfolding of a lifelong friendship and partnership—and the building of a brilliant tradition. From the 1967 fundraiser Fiesta de los Auto Elegantes to the first classic ar auction in 1971, from the trend- (and record-) setting events that made their name to the high-tech, family-run enterprise Barrett-Jackson has become, the book chronicles a legend built on a mutual passion—an American success story founded on the most American of icons: the classic car.
