James Hinckley

After years of having friends and associates tell me that I was blessed with a gift for telling folks where to go, and with support from my loving wife, I began writing about my passion for lost highways, the road less traveled, the special places found along the way, and the vintage vehicles that once traveled them. And together we launched Jim Hinckley's America, a multifaceted road trip travel network. To date this grand adventure has manifested in the form of twenty two books, more than one thousand feature articles for a wide array of publications including Old Cars Weekly, Classic Auto Restorer, Hemmings Classic Car, The Kingman Daily Miner and American Road, presentations in Europe, and even an interview with Jay Leno. In addition I write a blog chronicling the life of a starving artist on Route 66, host a morning podcast and a weekly live stream program, and write a monthly column for a New Zealand based automotive magazine. It is my sincere hope that you find my books, the Jim Hinckley's America website, podcasts, and articles an inspiration for over coming obstacles, for discovering the joy that comes from seeking the road less traveled, and that they inspire you to make a road trip or two.
