David Dickinson is the Creator and Editor of The Old Car Nut Book series. David has had a wide variety of careers, including military service, Real Estate, Investment Banking, and automotive sales that included most aspects in new car dealerships and then as the General Manager of a classic car dealership. More recently, as a consultant to individuals selling their own late model and classic cars, he has helped For Sale By Owners sell their cars for top dollar, using his proven methods as FSBO Auto Advisor.
In his latest adventure into publishing, The Old Car Nut Book series is David’s way of providing an opportunity for people to share those stories that usually don’t get told other than behind the bumper of a car at a car show or in the confines of a shop. It is also his way of reaching out to young people beginning their journeys in life and finding something fun and worthwhile to focus on. David believes it’s important for younger generations to know where the older generations of the car hobby came from in the hope that they too might be inspired by all of the old iron that we cherish so much. What better way than through stories from the people that created the old car hobby that we know today.

David’s brilliant concept of asking car guys from around the country to submit stories of their involvement in the hobby while they were growing up is so simple that you would have thought that it would have been proposed before. It wasn’t so thank goodness David did. These books are the literary equivalent of sitting around in lawn chairs with your buddies at a car show and BS’ing about the past. We should all thank David for having the foresight get some of these stories in print before all of the story tellers have passed on to the big car show in the sky.
