By H. P. Oliver One of the fun parts about being both a writer of historical fiction and a classic car nut is that I get to provide the characters in my books with interesting rides. Of course, the automobiles they drive must be appropriate to the book's time period, but from there, they range from the utilitarian (Mike Sinclair's Pontiac Vibe in The Truth Be Told) to the exotic (Dmitriy Volodin's Bugatti Type 57 Coupe in Revolver). A collection of such diverse automobiles would certainly make for an interesting classic car museum! Unfortunately, I'll have to sell a heck of a lot more books before I can afford to build such a museum. In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to create a virtual museum containing almost all the the vehicles that appear in my Mystery in History novels. What follows here is the result. Enjoy your tour of the Mystery in History Virtual Automobile Museum! |
