Funny you should mention that. I got this book from the library
when I was a kid. Thought about it many times in the intervening
decades.
I just got the book "Motor oil for a car guy's soul" by Kevin
Clemens. Chapter 2 is about this book. Sure brought back memories.
Other books from my youth?
"The Red Red Roadster", which I actually fond after reading a
rewritten version in "Boy's Life" magazine.
"The Fast Green Car", which was a Morgan, and its sequel "Return to
racing", which shifted over to stock cars.
"Hot Rod" by Henry Gregor Felsen. I have an autographed copy I got
when my parents took me to dinner with the author.
An adult book I read in those days was in my Dad's Readers Digest
Condensed Books: "The Green Helmet".
I seem to remember reading the Stirling Moss book "All But My Life".
Others, of course, whose titles and authors I don't recall...
