Colin Comer

Born along with the advent of low-lead fuel and low compression engines from Detroit in 1971, Colin Comer readily admits his love of cars began well before he could walk, let alone drive. While many are content to simply read about or admire the machines they are passionate about from afar, Colin is not one to be satisfied unless he is up to his elbows in grease or finding the limits of an old car's performance capabilities. This unique blend of firsthand experience and incredible knowledge literally jumps off of the written page with such ferocity that you can almost smell the tire smoke and straight-weight motor oil. Colin's writing and thoughts on the collector car world are regularly featured in publications such as the New York Times, Business Week, USA Today, and others along with frequent television appearances and seminars. Colin is the Marketplace Editor for Hagerty, a Contributing Editor to Road & Track Magazine, as well as former Editor-at-Large for Sports Car Market Magazine and American Car Collector Magazines. Colin's tastes in vintage cars are quite eclectic, but his true passion are the cars of Shelby American, as evidenced by his own collection that is knee-deep in original Cobras and Shelby Mustangs. When not maintaining or writing about cars, Colin enjoys racing a wide variety of cars and flying airplanes. Colin, his wife Cana, daughter Remington (named for Phil Remington), and son Briggs (named for Briggs Cunningham) reside in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, or as Colin likes to say "fifty-three miles from Road America" which he freely admits is his favorite place on earth.
