A Man and His Cars: The Ultimate "Barn Find" Collector by
John Own Bohmer
Over 200 pages of interesting stories and photos report on many of the 150+
vehicles which Bohmer either restored or saved for someone else to enjoy. This
car guy's book focus is, of course, on cars, however there are many great stories about some of the people he had dealt with and some of the frustrations
of being a car guy.
For those of you who never had a chance to visit his Roaring 20's Museum in
Brooten, MN when it was open, or have not had the privilege of meeting John,
you will get to know him as you enjoy each page of this revealing book.
Usually we see bankers driving flashy NEW cars. John likes flashy OLD cars.
The book spans nearly all years of the automobile; from the first motorcar in
Brooton, John Bohmer's grandfather's 1903 Knox, to the current financial
problems in the auto industry.
