Abstract

My thesis contains several stories of different car enthusiasts and the history behind the car(s) they work on and cherish. My son’s story is included, which details how he became a car enthusiast. The stories will show the influences cars have had over families through time. The stories bring the cars to life. The questions I will answer are: Why this car? and What does it mean to the family that owns it? The stories about the cars and why so much time and effort is being put into them can be inspiring to readers, and I have captured a piece of this with each story. Some of the owners no longer have the cars, but their memories have attached, and together, car and owner are intertwined.
