Wheel People

Like me, you probably got into the car business because it’s more fun than, say, the toothpaste business. Sometimes, though, the “business” part can diminish the fun part. From 2009-2013, I published Wheel People, an e-newsletter that reminds us of the fun. Each issue profiled an interesting car enthusiast or collector. I did all of the writing and design for Wheel People and managed distribution through a professional email service (MailChimp). If you need an e-newsletter, we should talk. Wheel People is currently on hiatus. Samples:

• Brian Johnson, singer for the rock group AC/DC and an avid vintage racer and author who cruises around Sarasota, Fla. in his 1928 Bentley. (Left)
• Jeff Bloch, policeman during the week and racer and daredevil on the weekends.
• Mike Markowski, a Corvette and Toronado enthusiast and aeronautical engineer who introduced hang gliding on the East Coast in the 1970s.
• Ramin Salehkhou, founder of a muscle car club -- in Iran! (I was privileged to write about American muscle cars in Iran for The New York Times.)
• Bob Mittenmaier, the New Jersey artist whose painting of Tazio Nuvolari racing a Ferrari 166 in the 1948 Mille Miglia resulted in a request from Enzo Ferrari to include it in his autobiographical book about Ferrari racers -- the only painting featured in the book.
