About the Author

Martha Nabors grew up round cars, as her father owned a Mobil gas station for 37 years. Though busy teaching at the College of Charleston's School of Education in South Carolina, she always finds time to attend car shows -- just like Fritzie's car show.

W. James Clees describes himself as an automobilist. A retired professor from the Citadel in South Carolina, Jim finds time to restore old cars like Fritzie and Midgee. He is currently working on a 1964 Corvair Monza. Jim is also active in local car clubs.
