"There is an almost instinctive need to preserve the experiences and emotions attached to cars that play such an important role in forming the image of a man's self. Even when life conspires to interupt the love affair and time takes it's toll, the eyes of love never betray the beauty of the beholder. Faithful to the end- the man, the car and the memories roll along life's roads in the most poignient of ways in Rust and Wrinkles. It is an introspective and sentimental perspective on the profound effect that automobiles can have on the male psyche. True to his craft, Rust and Wrinkles is drawn in the unmistakable style and is intelligently written by Joe King. Anyone that has ever been emotionally attached to their car will appreciate owning this book."
