Paul Niedermeyer Presents Curbsideclassic.com
Almost exactly three years and one week ago, my dad, Paul Niedermeyer called me up and told me there was an opening for a freelancer at TTAC’s then-new news blog. Little did I know at the time that just a few years later, so much would have changed. In fact, if someone had told me at the time that in three years I would be editing TTAC and that my dad would have moved onto his own site, I might not have taken the job. After all, if it weren’t for him I might not even be interested in cars, and I certainly wouldn’t be writing about them professionally.
Needless to say, there have been some twists and turns along the way… but sharing a profession with your dad is too deeply rewarding a privilege to simply come easily. His decision to leave TTAC was a tough for me to accept at first, until I realized that TTAC’s loss was the internet’s gain. We may have lost a valued contributor, but the autoblogosphere gained a new destination: curbsideclassic.com.
For legal reasons, you can still find an archive of Paul’s TTAC-era Curbside Classics here, but be sure to surf over to his new site for his latest additions to a body of work that is, without a doubt, one of the best sources of automotive history and nostalgia on the web.

I'm so glad to see Paul back in cyberspace, CC was always a treat here at TTAC and the new site has a lot to offer. Keep up the great work!
Always loved CC. Another addres into favorites
Oh, shoot, Ed, surely you're protesting too much. You were destined for cars.
Like Zackman, I am going to have to split my time betw the two sites. But that's a high class problem.
one more site to add to my daily haunts (TTAC.com, facebook.com, jalponik.com, doonesbury.com/dailydose, news.bbc.co.uk)
