Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever wondered what became of that car you sold years ago? Could you recognize your past vehicles in the following years or decades? Would you be curious as to the successive/previous owners? In this light-hearted "auto-biography" we meet the Bowers family whose first new car is a blue 1962 Impala. The cherished car is awarded Dad's routine maintenance regimen which ensures a long life. Follow the human events, milestones, foibles, changes, growing pains and rites of passage during this first chapter and then meet the next owners: a teenager who makes a bad call, a gambler with big dreams, a wealthy car collector whose wife has a different idea, a high school shop class where restorations earn an A+ in life lessons, an altruistic new car dealer under whose sponsorship a star is born, a young teacher and her extended family and friends ... all drivers on the road to an unexpected ending.There is humor, drama, nostalgia, fuzzy dice, serendipity, happenstance and surprise. A fun what-if ride.
