Series 3 The Fabulous Trashwagon

The third novel in author/racer "BS" Levy's cult-classic The Last Open Road series, it follows the adventures and developing work, life, and romantic relationships of its narrator, Buddy Palumbo, as he takes over running the shop, weathers the first year of marriage, and dabbles in selling cars. It's fully accurate and in-the-moment regarding the culture, news, and current events of the day and also visits many classic race events, including being in the pits and on the scene for the worst accident in motor racing history at the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans, when Pierre Levegh's Mercedes catapulted/exploded into the main grandstand crowd, killing over 80 people.
