There's great cars and great stories in the pages of "Garage Style" magazine. The stories of the inspiration behind the car collections and the garages where they are kept are written by true enthusiasts. The garages may belong to individuals, businesses, and clubs throughout the country. The magazine is based in Orange County in Southern California and usually has a garage or two from that area. You might read a 3-part story about Jay Leno's collection and a story of an individual holding on to a dusty, covered-up Duesenberg purchased by a distant relative following World War II. There could be stories about collectors of engine parts, model cars, or automobilia all kept in a garage, basement, or building built specifically to house the collection. I urge you to get a copy, find a quiet corner where you won't be found, and devour this magazine from front to back.
