Where would you find the greatest concentration of collector's garages, or the biggest stash of automotive metal? The only answer is Detroit, home to the Big Three, auto industry insiders, ground zero for motor madness. This book includes photography, details of the cars, and collectors talking about their passion.

There isn't another place in the world that can match Detroit's automotive history. For nearly a century, what was conceived, designed, produced, and marketed from this town ruled the roads. So it only stands to reason that the Motor City is likely to host some of the country's greatest collector garages. From the personal home of the man who put America on wheels to the posh residences of current automotive icons such as Bob Lutz, Motor City Dream Garages takes readers on a guided tour of 20-plus of Motown's most interesting garages. Going beyond even these fantastic garagemahals, this book also takes readers inside select company garages for exclusive looks at the unique and important collections amassed by companies such as General Motors and Roush Industries (parent company to Roush Racing, owned by Jack Roush). If you like both garages and the beautiful machines within, this book is for you!
