American Road Magazine Autumn Issue Reaches Sell-Out Success

American Road Magazine Autumn Issue Reaches Sell-Out Success. Scattered newsstand copies of latest edition are all that remain.

Detroit, Michigan (PRWEB) November 9, 2006 -- The latest edition of American Road Magazine is a sell out. A few copies of the Autumn 2006 issue remain on newsstands, and at various retail outlets, but are almost certain to go fast. This success reflects the quality of American Road Magazine and the loyalty of its readers.

"American Road staff work hard to put out the best magazine possible," said advertising manager Brian Parker. "This sell-out is great news for us, our readers, and our advertisers."

The first frosty hints of fall recently found American Road Executive Editor, Thomas Repp. "They fell from an azure sky," he stated, "and reminded me my toes will soon be turning the same shade."

Repp confesses in his "Editor's Rambler" column that he's got the blues for this issue. "Autumn catches me unawares each year. Out of the blue it comes, and into the blue it sends me." Yet, the blues flowing through these 68 glossy full-color pages, are nothing but positive. Blue is noble. Blue is true. Blue pulls more emotional duty than any other pigment in the crayon box.

It's often said that autumn is the best time to travel, especially with falling gas prices. In American Road terms, that means autumn is the best time to be alive. The trees are turning somersaults, and even if those trees drop their colors to leave behind a world turning blue, where's the harm? Mountains look stupendous pared down to blue essentials. So do hills and dales. All the better to see the wild and the yonder.

This Autumn 2006 issue of American Road is fashioned into one big automotive blue book. A blueprint, if you will, to fend off any imagined fall funk!

• The cruise begins with the State of Iowa's Blue Valley Drive. "Blue Heaven, or, Saving Sergeant Shaffer" explores the auto trail anchored at either end by two all-American military tales—the true-life tragedy of the Five Sullivan Brothers of Waterloo and the saga of the perhaps not-so-fictitious Radar O'Reilly at Ottumwa.

• "Kentucky Home" finds its splendor in the grass—Kentucky bluegrass, of course—as photographer Amy C. Elliott guides us along the Bluegrass Parkway. See the cannonball in that wall at Elizabethtown? It's left from the days when blue battled gray.

• In "Blue Moon," writer Frank Brusca visits with William Least Heat-Moon, author of the watershed American travelogue, "Blue Highways." We learn why Moon's highways turned blue in the first place.

• Authors Lee and Jane Whiteley examine the "Kansas Blue Line" – the cooler side of Kansas State Route 18 – while "Riding the Ridge" sends us sailing in a cerulean Shangri-La along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The issue includes the regular traditions and departments:

• Friends in the Fast Lane

• Tunnel Vision

• Route 66 Kicks

• One to 101

• On the Yellowstone Trail – and much, much more!
