May/June 2019 edition
Issue #5 AutoMobilia Resource Magazine

Spring has sprung and car events are popping up all over! If you are a Porschephile, the LA Toy & Literature show should be on your “must attend list” LALitAndToyShow.com. Held annually on the first weekend in March, this meet brings out the largest and best variety of Porsche automobilia, books, brochures and specialty parts that are available in the US. Early on Saturday morning, thousands of eager shoppers gather to peruse over 300 tables of Porsche treasures filling two ballrooms at the LAX Hilton hotel.

Broughton St. It turns out the hood is part of the “Jaguar Bonnet Artwork Collection” by the automotive designer & artist, Cesar Pieri. designpieri.wordpress.com
John Hartman Sebring 12 Hours

Above: The Sebring 12 Hours race is an exciting event to be sure but people watching is an additional perk. John Hartman, a race fan for more than 50 years has an impressive collection of original race tickets and buttons, dating to the 1960s, which he wears proudly on his hat. John is a walking bit of motor racing history!
John Bickel Signs Lakeland VW Classic
John Bickel Signs
Left" At the Lakeland VW Classic, I met John Bickel, JohnBickelSigns.com, creator of impressively large signs made of wood but finished to look like metal. He’s been making them for 20 years and his specialty is giant license plates customized with the client’s car year/state/vanity plate number.  Luckily, they are light enough to easily be hung on a wall. 

Look for me and my mobile book store (GoMotorbooks) this summer at:  
The Paddock Classic Car Restorations Grand Opening Car Show, New Britain, CT, May 18
Trans-Am at Lime Rock Park, May 24-27 • Greenwich Concours, June 1-2 • German Car Day at Larz Anderson Auto Museum, June 16
Microcar Classic (July 14) and British Car Day (June 23) at Larz Anderson Auto Museum • IMSA at Lime Rock Park, July 19-20
