The Cobra in the Barn is a collection of stories, mostly from the US, but a few from Europe, about lost classic cars which were rediscovered. The cars range from sports cars, Woodies, one-of-a-kind or special-built vehicles, to luxury touring cars.=== The Good Stuff ===* The book is a pretty easy read, and I read the book in a day or so. The book is a collection of short stories, mostly less than 5 pages in length, so there are numerous authors, but for the most part the stories are well written and quick moving.* Many of the stories are almost hard to believe, as cars have literally gone around the world and ended up back with their original owners. Other stories capture a slice of American life, and often the story of the car is also the story of the owners and their families.* The stories vary in their completeness, but many take the car from almost the builder's shipping dock all the way to their permanent homes with collectors. Along the way we meet professional car "hunters", serious collectors who had a very lucky day, and determined buyers who spent years, and in some cases decades, tracking down and persuading an owner to sell a car.=== The Not-So-Good Stuff ===* Many of the stories are remarkably similar. Someone discovers a car in an old barn, they spend years persuading the owner to sell it to them, they they restore the vehicle and live happily ever after. Quite a few of these stories just sort of blended into one another.* I am only a casual "car guy", so in quite a few of the tales I really didn't understand the attraction of the vehicle. Indeed, I had never even heard of several of them. Some of the authors are better than others at telling the casual car fan why the car was important, and what was so special about this particular one. More photos, even if they weren't of the exact car in the tale, would have helped.* Several of the stories end shortly after the found vehicle is purchased by its new owner and some form of restoration begins. It would have been nice if the stories had followed the vehicle to its ultimate configuration. Similarly, it would have been fun to know more about the purchase price (disclosed in roughly 50% of the stories), and especially the final value of the restored vehicle (rarely disclosed).=== Summary ===The book is fine for what tries to do- namely tell the story of people stumbling over a rare vehicle and their efforts to purchase it. I would have preferred fewer stories and more details in each one, but others may appreciate the greater variety. If you are a car buff, or just love the "man finds valuable car" stories, give it a read. I actually enjoyed it, but just wished for more.
Every car nut dreams of the great "barn find," and this book seemed to promise vignettes of some of the best, but disppointed me in a few ways. The quality of the writing covers a spectrum from "what I did on my summer vacation" type ramblings to the professional prose of Road and Track's Peter Egan. I had to read a couple of the stories two or three times to clarify who the people were and what the perspective of the writer was. Some of the chapters lacked photographs, or decent photographs, so the reader is left to imagine what was actually discovered, which would seem like a no-no for a book like this. Some beautiful photos were attached at the end of the book, said to be in some "mystery location" so that really did not connect to the rest of the book. My only other comment would be that if you're expecting this to be all about sports cars, it's not...several of the chapters are about big old touring cars, one-offs, woodies, and limousines. A decent read for car enthusiasts but not great. If I was editing it, I'd chop a lot of the banter and make the stories clear, and make sure there were photos to document each story from "find" to post-restoration if that was the end of the story.
Tom Cotter is the quintessential car guy. He has been a contributor to R&T for over 2 decades, has authored numerous books and even was the PR guy for Charlotte Motor Speedway so he is the real deal. This book is a magic carpet - transporting you to dusty barns, moldy garages and secret hiding places where all of these wonderful old cars were squirreled away. One thing I really liked about the format is that the stories are bite-sized - easily consumed in those quiet moments when you need a car fix. I am reminded of Jeff Goldblum's character in The Big Chill describing the length of stories he wrote for his magazine. Maybe not the most fitting words for a family forum such as this but if you remember the line, it fits here in the most complimentary way. ;-)A good read for a winter evening when the summer driving season is months away and you are looking to recharge your car buzz until the croci bloom.
There could be a Cobra or a Viper, a StingRay or even a Ferrari or a Lincoln Continental in a barn near you. Or, perhaps more likely, in a barn at the end of a rainbow somewhere. You probably won't find a Bugatti or an S-Type Invicta, but the many lucky car hunters, and at least a couple of pretty good writers, who contributed to this book have found interesting, buyable, restorable cars in barns, gardens and fields. Their stories are page-turners; their secrets: patience, plenty of travel, winning phone skills, and eyes and ears wide open at all times.Whether you hunt for rare cars, hope to stumble upon them serendipitously, or just dream of doing so, you will enjoy "The Cobra in the Barn," Highly recommended.The correct spelling is Duesenberg, despite being spelled a couple of other ways in the book.
A fun book to read for anyone into the search and restoration of anything old. Many stories are very touching. I am not a strong reader and I blew right through the book in a few nights. There are a variety of cars included in the stories...they are all good stories, the actual type of car didn't affect my attention to the book. Very well written by a very intelligent man.
