Amy Markle - On The Road with Amy Column
The focus is out-of-print books, and vintage automobilia. She is a self-described avid reader, who is continuously learning about cars and books.
Currently, Amy is the proud owner of a classic Volvo 240 Wagon, fun Scion XA, and a collector of Michelin Man ‘Bibendum’ items. [email protected] Tel : 518-859-1572 |
In the mid ‘90s, a silver Porsche 356B inspired Amy to start competing in local PCA Autocross events....and the rest is history.
She is the founder of GoMotorbooks, and since ‘97 has been selling car related books and automobilia at 25+ events across the USA, where you may have seen her. Her mobile marketplace is reminiscent of an old-fashioned book store, just not in a traditional setting. |

2018 - Another great year on the road! Issue #3 Jan/Feb 2019 After a whirlwind of motoring events this Summer and Fall, it was nice to have a few weeks of down time during November & December to reflect on another great year on the road. I looked through our photos and found some interesting memories to share. In vendor areas, you may find favorite artists creating a new automotive piece in their booth. Both Steve Petrosky (left) driversroad.com and Roger Warick rogerwarwick.com have been spotted at Daytona, Sebring, Road America and Road Atlanta doing just that! Added bonus, you can have your purchase signed by the artist. |
2018 - Automobilia can by found most anywhere! Issue #4 Mar/Apr 2019 Event travel will soon begin in earnest and I look forward to sharing my discoveries with you. In the meantime here are some new products I’ve found for 2019 and some belated finds from 2018. Italian inspired scooters by Ambosstoys will be available in April 2019. Handmade of metal and powder coated for durability, these ride on toys are a timeless design intended to last for many years to come. Ambosstoys.com |

Car Show Season is in Full Swing! Issue #6 July/Aug 2019
So many car events, so little time! It’s hard to believe it’s already June and car show season is in full swing. April brought the New York International Auto Show, which is a showcase for the newest cars, but if you look closely, there is automoblia to be found too, like this wonderful Cadillac Eldorado Promo model car display (below). Promo models were made for car manufacturers as exact scale model examples of their full-size counterparts, and were often given away or sold at the dealerships |
