Rare are the collector cars untouched by time or restorers--cars that still wear their original parts, paint, upholstery, and trim. Rare and immensely valuable. These are the survivors that collectors sometimes call “time capsule cars,” automobiles that capture the period in which they were built. And these are the cars pictured and profiled in this book in all their original glory. Survivor cars are the highlights of collector-car auctions around the world, the stars of their class at prestigious concours such as Pebble Beach, Meadow Brook, and Amelia Island; and the automotive royalty at both Bloomington Gold and the Mopar Nats. It’s Only Original Once chronicles the most important of these cars, from early models like a 1930 Oakland Roadster and a 1937 Packard to later favorites such as a 1971 Charger R/T and a 1972 GTO. And like the cars themselves, the book takes the reader on a trip through time. And like the cars themselves, the book takes the reader on a trip through time.
