Lackey recounts the history of the Jordan Motor Car Company--including a biographical sketch of founder Ned Jordan--from its founding in 1916, through the "Somewhere West of Laramie" campaign, to the end of the company in 1932. He describes various models, such as the Sport Marine, the Playboy, the Little Tomboy, and the Little Custom Jordan. Photos of the cars in b&w and color are incorporated. The appendices feature distributors and dealers, chassis and engine specifications, serial numbers, and wiring diagrams. Lackey is a charter member of the Jordan Register and club historian.
