Description
"Louie Mattar was crazy for cars.... If it had a motor and four wheels, Louie went wild." From a vehicle-obsessed child, Louie grew into a knowledgeable mechanic and craftsman who always had to be tinkering, solving problems that seemed impossible and dreaming up innovations that no one else considered. Soon, he was modifying the family car to enable it to travel across the country without stopping--a feat he accomplished after five years of work, in 1952. The Fabulous Car still runs and is on view at the San Diego Automotive Museum, where it first inspired author Heidi Lewis to write about it.As a child, Heidi Lewis always dreamed of what was just beyond the road ahead. She's also fascinated by bizarre gadgets and outrageous quests, so when Heidi spied the Fabulous Car at the San Diego Automotive Museum, it was love at first sight. Heidi is a native of Southern California. Learn more at https: //www.heidilewis.info/.Jordi Vila Delclòs was born in Barcelona. Before he built a career as an illustrator, he studied music and played the vibraphone in various jazz groups. He loves listening to jazz and drawing pirates. This is his second book for Creative Editions, after 2019's A Meeting in the Sky.
