Produktinformationen zu „Tales from the Back Bumper (PDF)“
Buckle up your seatbelt and prepare for a ride on the history highway! Christopher Garrish has collected hundreds of facts and photos (not to mention licence plates) in this astonishing assembly of motoring madness. Discover what the earliest motorists in the province used to build their own licence plates; why some licence plate numbersare worth waiting in line overnight for; which offensive acronym slipped under the radar and found its way onto a licence plate before authorities recalled it; and dozens of other entertaining anecdotes.Whether you’re a car connoisseur or a tailgating trucker, you’ll find that Tales from the Back Bumper is more than just an ABC-123 account of licence plates. This book is not only the definitive guide to everything from plate prefixes and decals to provincial slogans and vanity plates, but also a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at how cars—and by extension licence plates—have played a part in our exploration and navigation of “Beautiful British Columbia” for the past hundred years.
Autoren-Porträt von Christopher Garrish
To distract their young son on a cross-continental car trip, Christopher Garrish's parents encouraged him to illustrate all the different licence plates he saw. Thirty years on, Chris still finds himself scanning for plates and recording what he sees on his award-winning website, BCpl8s.ca. He has also published articles on British Columbia history in BC Studies, British Columbia Historical News and Okanagan History. Chris, his wife, Heather, and his two daughters—whose names can be spelled in both English and Licence Plate: K8 (Kate) and 3MM4 (Emma)—live in the Okanagan Valley.
