Lifemobile

Among the events taking place alongside the big Saturday car show at Sturbridge will be a book-signing for a wonderful new book, Lifemobile.


Lifemobile is a novel written by CORSA member Jonathan Rintels. Mr Rintels has been a writer for film and television, and this is his first novel. We’ve been able to read an excerpt and it is nothing less than funny, moving, and inspirational.

Lifemobile is based on Mr Rintels’ experiences with his special-needs son, and how he became fascinated – obsessed, really – with his father’s Corvair, and its features, history, and controversy. In many ways, the Corvair experience changed his life.

Readers don’t need to be Corvair enthusiasts to become engaged with this book, but it seems obvious that the Corvair community will respond to it enthusiastically. The book is to be published in June by Prospecta Press, and at Sturbridge in July we’ll have a traditional book-signing event where Mr Rintels will read from the book, answer questions, and sign copies that will be available on-site.
