Aussie rock 'n' roll legend Glenn Shorrock said, "This is a unique read, ring me to discuss!" Yep, Glenn sent me his private telephone number and asked ME to ring HIM!(Listen to Glenn sing at Photo Gallery/Lucy Meets Famous People)
This email is extra special - it's from Leo Pruneau, GM Design 1961-1988. Leo started at GM Detroit in Feb '61, just months before Lucy rolled off the line, "On the Road with Big Lucy is brilliant Australiana, capturing the story of this gorgeous Cadillac coupe cruising the Lucky Country in earthy, exquisite detail. Well done Stephen." Thanks Leo!
This is what artist Darryl Osbourne said, "Well, I read ya book steve...LOVE IT! Thanks for writing what took me from laughter to tears and back. Really. And for the sobering lessons about the pale rider too. Inspirational stuff. Cheers!"
A Senior Board Member of the US Cadillac Club said, "I just started reading your book on a flight from Connecticut to Little Rock, Arkansas for a visit with my family. I'm impressed! It's really, really great. I love your writing style. It's like a mystery book you don't want to put down!"
"First book I've read from cover to cover for many years, very entertaining and you sure tell a good story Steve, it was enthralling. Congratulations."
"On the Road with Big Lucy looks absolutely terrific. It is a fantastic, eye catching picture for the front cover and inside the type face and layout is very 'reader friendly' and invites you to read it."
"Your little prelude at the start works really well and gives the reader a taste of what's to come - a great piece of writing!"
"Your book has inspired us to use our Cadillac more."
"As a teenager growing up in Sydney in the 50s & 60s, what a wonderful trip down memory lane your book was."
*** That Vaughn Munroe song is here because it's used in the introduction of my book. Everyone knows the Johnny Cash version but few have heard the 1940s original. Hope you enjoyed it.
How good is my book? Good enough that it inspired one Caddy owner to follow in Lucy's tyre tracks. Queensland based Jim & Bev in their '61.
