1000 HISTORIC AUTOMOBILE SITES

Smashwords Edition

Acknowledgements

This book simply would not have been possible if it hadn’t been for the help from all the museum curators I contacted during my research who supplied me important information.

I also received help from relevant tourist centres and various owners clubs around the world.

A special thanks is necessary to the following people who helped me out enormously, Klaus Bischof at the Porsche Museum in Germany, Berenice Giera at Audi in Germany, Piret Tooming at the Volkswagen Automuseum in Germany, Donald Davidson the historian at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum USA, Minoru Fukada at Nissan Motor Company Japan, Anne Helene Casse at Volkswagen Germany, Monsieur J. L. Arbey at the Buggati Owners Club in France, Richard Day from the Bugatti Trust in England, Guus Helegers at the Daf Museum in the Netherlands and Emmanuelle Cotin from the Musee de L’Autobiliste France.

Special thanks to Julian Nowill for his Russian museums information and pictures, what he didn’t know about the Russian motor industry wasn’t worth knowing. Marvin McFalls of the Renault Owners Club in America who I pestered for Renault information. H. G. Mackenzie Wintle, archivist of the Renault Owners Club in England, Steve Barr at the Oshawa Development Services, Canada for his detailed information on automotive sites in that area.

Rod Harvey at the national Motor Racing Museum, Bathurst, Australia for information on the museum and track. Eben de Vos at the St Crox Motor Museum in South Africa for extra information on South African car factories. Simon Jowett now in England for the American information at the start of my project. John Webster in Australia for information on old Australian factories. Kazunori Shibata in Kyoto, Japan for the Nissan Skyline information. Lloyd Dunkley for information on the Wolverhampton sites, Luisa Francavilla for Spanish translations and Linda Francavilla for spelling and grammar guidance on my manuscript and Steve Ford the ‘Car Guy’ in Detroit for information, support and additional help.
