Cagle<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Gregory Cagle was a 10-year-old car fanatic when his family moved from New Jersey to Germany in 1956. For the next five years, he photographed unusual, rare and sometimes bizarre automobiles throughout Europe. This book features 105 specimens of auto exotica, captured with Cagle\u2019s Iloca Rapid-B 35-mm camera\u2014not as showpieces in a museum, but as daily drivers in their natural habitats. In the background can be glimpsed, here and there, the mood of postwar Europe. The story behind each photo is told, with dates and locations, information and history about the cars and some of their owners, along with Cagle\u2019s personal anecdotes. An interesting examination of automotive esoterica.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Scenes from an Automotive Wonderland<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>By Gregory A.
