About the Author:

Myles Kornblatt's lifelong passion for automobiles has led him to search the globe for interesting cars. He has gained a reputation for rediscovering and writing the histories on vehicles that the automotive community had thought were long-lost or never even knew existed. He is an industry consultant and former museum curator. His work has appeared in publications such as Top Gear, GQ, Classic Cars, Classic Cars Weekly, Hemmings Daily, and Octane. Myles understands that a car is just metal, glass, and rubber, but when combined correctly, it creates something more: he finds the soul.
