In this hilarious collection of old car stories, Canada’s very own "Old Car Detective" Bill Sherk presents 80 of his favourite stories from all 10 provinces, spanning the years from 1925 to 1965. In this book you will meet the man in New Brunswick who chopped the top off his 1927 Whippet sedan in honour of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II; the young fellow from Kingston, Ontario, who thought his 1937 Ford coach looked better with all four fenders taken off; the owner of a 1947 Hudson that burned so much oil he had to wear a snorkel mask while driving it; the father who borrowed his son’s hot-rodded ’53 Monarch (built only in Canada!) and got pulled over by the police for street racing; and the grandmother who moved from England to Canada and drove her Morris Minor on the wrong side of the road. Behind every old car there’s a story waiting to be told, all the way from your grandparents’ Model T Ford to the Mustang you drove in high school. All the stories and photographs in this book are in chronological order from 1925 to 1965, giving you a 40-year journey through Canada’s rich automotive heritage and brought to life by the people who owned and drove the cars of yesteryear – and some still do! PART ONE (1925 to 1942) takes you from the middle of the Roaring Twenties to February 1942, when the Second World War brought automobile production to a halt for three long years. PART TWO (1946 to 1965) takes you through the Baby Boom years when cars driven by Canadians went through many exciting changes in styling and engineering. If you have ever owned (or still own) a car that was built between 1925 and 1965, turn to the last page in this book to see how you can send in your story for Bill Sherk’s next book.

A ’38 Lagonda is driving someone to murder in “this lively, fast-paced mystery” series debut featuring British classic car expert and detective Jack Colby (Publishers Weekly). When Jack Colby, owner of Frogs Hill Classic Car Restorations, stumbles upon a 1938 coupé Lagonda V12 rusting away in a country barn in Kent, he longs to bring it back to its former glory. Jack also takes a shine to its owner, the fetching widow Polly Davis. Sadly, his romantic pursuits cut short. A few days later Polly is murdered just a few feet from the elegant machine. Now Jack’s curiosity about the car—and the crime—are kicking into high gear. He knows that years ago Polly’s late husband was found dead in the driver’s seat. And it’s clear she had no interest in selling or restoring the Lagonda—just hiding it. But are the rumors about Polly’s dicey past the key to it all, or just a detour? Convinced that the Lagonda is somehow involved, especially when it disappears, Jack is determined to uncover Polly’s secrets and bring her killer to justice, even at the risk of his own life.

Two ex-car thieves, who used to “work” successfully in the prime of their youth, have been already living on the legit for a long time and have quite a serious business on setting antitheft devices on business class cars. But once they decide to cast back their mind and do it in an extraordinary way. The fact is that the wife of one of the characters has got her thirtieth birthday the other day. And so the unusual present should be made. They decide to steal her old car and put a new one, with a big bow on it and congratulations, in front of her house. So they do. It was a real surprise for them when they saw the wife coming back from work on her car as if nothing had happened. Her face didn’t express any happiness even at the sight of the new crossover… The friends wonder, whose the devil car they have stolen? The wife is a chief in a famous insurance company. And she said, that a few hours ago the two foreigners, being very distressed for the safety of some Nanotechnologies that they have brought to a very serious Saint-Petersburg Scientific-Research Institute from the USA for sharing experiences, insure them nothing less than for a sum of several million dollars. And moreover she herself saw their car parked next to her… (as you will appreciate, the cars are the same) It has got through to the friends quickly that the whole city police is now searching for them and the thing they are looking for is standing next to them. The friends decide to put the car on some crowded place. But the trouble is that the foreigners are indeed the common swindlers and of course they haven’t brought any new technologies with them. And only the theft of their own case, with the aim of getting insurance, figures in their plans. The story is inspired by true events and you even can find some information about it in the Internet and Mass Media.
