Olde Milford Press was founded and built by Pat Foster, America’s strongest advocate for the nation’s independent auto makers. Pat is author of 31 books on the subject and a regular columnist for Hemmings Classic Car magazine. He’s written many articles including several on King Midgets and has retailed King Midget books from the time the first one came out. In 2017 Olde Milford Press took over publishing, wholesaling and retailing of King Midget books to ensure they will remain in print. The King Midget Club receives royalties on every King Midget book sold and those royalties are used to preserve the King Midget heritage. www.oldemilfordpress.com

MIDGET MOTORS Blueprint for American Microcars
Charter Member Bob Vahsholtz has been researching and writing books and newsletters about King Midgets for more than two decades. This, he says, will be his last book. And yet … this is his passion … he keeps on writing! MIDGET MOTORS Blueprint for American Microcars tells the corporate story of the King Midget’s builders. Claud Dry and Dale Orcutt were secretive about the business. They used even numbers for serial numbers and started over from time to time so the public wouldn’t know how small the Company really was. Then after they sold out to retire, the corporate records were lost in a flood. Bob’s been digging for years to learn just how they accomplished what so many others could not. He spells it out in this book and notes their success formula was almost as simple as their cars. Repeating the trick today should be not only possible, but easier. The book will be introduced at the Bowling Green Jamboree this summer. You can pre-order a copy for delivery at the Jam or for mail delivery in August. The book is 200 pages, 81/2 x 11 and well illustrated. The price is $37 plus $4 for delivery by mail from www.oldemilfordpress.com  Bob won’t be at the Jam, so if you want a signed copy, send an extra $10 to cover the logistics of getting that accomplished. If you’d like to see an extract from the book, click HERE to see four pages from Chapter 4.
