Me & My Automobile by Julie Shaw Lutts
$1,300.00
This book was inspired by my love of cars, which was handed down to me by my handsome father (seen as a young man in his two-tone green Cadillac), with whom family road trips were always full of fun and adventure. There are 18 pages of cars and owners in the book—and when it’s turned over, it can be assembled into a beautiful large red Cadillac.
