Denise McCluggage who, among other things, wrote a column called "Now and Then" as a senior contributing editor for Autoweek. The book is called <span style="font-style: italic">"By Brooks Too Broad For Jumping"</span> and is made up of many of her columns written for Autoweek. She also wrote for Road and Track, Car and Driver, Motor Trend and her own publication called Competition Press. Here is an excerpt:
"Fine restorations are lovely to look upon, backgrounded perhaps by the emerald sward as the fog lifts at Pebble Beach and sunlight astounds the careful metal. I am always appropriately awed there. But maybe even better I like seeing old cars looking old, wearing their history like an old man with distance in his eyes, pillow-bound in a nursing home, tapping his cane with a time-curled hand. Unrecalled tales silently sit with him. The unrestored cars are like that."
