There is a void that yearns to be filled. Numerous books and articles concerning luxury motor cars manufactured prior to the Second World War have been written. These publications describe their beauty of design, the history of various marques and include a limited amount of mechanical specifications. With few exceptions, there is no in-depth examination of the car’s performance and what can be expected of such a vehicle on today’s roads. Road Testing Cars of Distinction intends to fill that void.Beginning in the late 1940s, the modern road test began to develop in America. A typical report includes a vehicle’s acceleration time, top speed, handling characteristics, braking ability, driving comfort, etc. In short, the modern road test provides in depth information. Prior to World War II, published road tests generally contained much less useful data than today’s enthusiast has come to expect. Road Testing Cars of Distinction remedies this lack of relevant information. Each chapter offers a comprehensive road test of a Classic car in words, charts and pictures from information gathered and exhaustively researched during the last ten years.Road Testing Cars of Distinction places the reader in the driver’s seat and takes him on an imaginary ride in a luxury vintage motor car. From a 265 horsepower Duesenberg Model J Sport Phaeton to a 32 horsepower Franklin Sport Runabout, the reader is vicariously transported behind the wheel to savor the excitement of driving an automobile usually reserved for the elite of society. The common thread running through each chapter is that all the cars tested were high-end cars. Not high-end luxury cars as we know them today, but automobiles that were so expensive that annual sales were frequently in the double digits or less. It is a book that both the knowledgeable vintage car aficionado and teenager about to receive his driver’s license will relish reading and retaining for reference because he may currently own or someday acquire one of these mobile masterpieces of technological art.Road Testing Cars of Distinction is the culmination of ten years of road testing approximately one hundred magnificent Classic motor cars across the United States The book contains some of the most sought after as well as some of the most obscure luxury Classic cars. I have attempted to cover as many different makes as possible in the limited space available and yet also devote time to the more popular old cars without retracing paths that are well trodden by other authors. In addition to the twenty-eight chapters is a table setting forth performance figures for the twenty-eight motor cars road tested. This table provides a shorthand reference of each vehicle’s performance potential.Road Testing Cars of Distinction places the keys in your hands, plants you in the driver’s seat and provides you with an imaginary test drive of some very rare and enthralling motor cars.

Six months have passed since United Earth Defense Fleet (UEDF) cadets Ryan Thompson, Amanda Williamson, and their senior class saved earth from destruction at the hands of the Altarrans. It seems like yesterday that they learned startling truths about the strange invaders from Altarra, and undertook the adventure of a lifetime. As the cadets now prepare for graduation, Amanda is haunted by vivid nightmares of another alien race, this one much more deadly, and with a mission to annihilate all life within our galaxy. Worse, she’s having mysterious blackouts and apparent visits from an ancient entity, who warns that the Karang are coming. With the help of their former enemies, the Altarrans, Ryan, Amanda and the entire UEDF must hold off the Karang against all odds, while searching for a long-hidden, legendary weapon known as the Ship of the Gods, which may be the only slim hope for Earth’s survival.
