Norm Mort was raised in Toronto where vehicles from every corner of the world were sold. He began taking pictures of old cars and trucks parked at the side of the road before he was ten. At 12 years of age, Norm was the youngest member on the executive of the Antique and Classic Car Club of Canada, Toronto Chapter. In the 1960s he began accumulating photos and information on motoring. Over the years Norm's personal vehicle collection has included everything from a 1949 Allard to a 1922 Vauxhall. A writer for magazines and newspapers in the field of transport for nearly 25 years and a member of the Canadian Society of Automotive Historians, this is his eighth historic vehicles book.
In short great sharp colour pictures, enough background to learn the history of the woodies and nostalgic ads from magazines. A great trip down memory lane. Honestly, I loved this book. It's a great summary of station wagons since the late 1800's until the golden decade of the '50s. Highly recommended. – IPMS/USA Journal.
