Lunches with Mr. Q
an auto industry titan on business, life and sports car dreams
by Kevin NelsonThe biography of 92-year-old Kjell Qvale, an optimistic, risk-taking multimillionaire automotive pioneer and entrepreneur.
Told in a series of warm and sometimes poignant conversations between the author and Kjell Qvale (pronounced Shell Cavalli), Lunches.

The contents of this book match its title all too closely. It reads like an expanded personality profile for a local lifestyle magazine.
Fascinating book, easy to read, could not put it down.
There surely are 'sexier' and more profitable subjects for an automotive writer to tackle than Kjell Qvale. For me, along with Max Hoffman, Kjell Qvale is among a rare handful of pioneering import distributors whose stories needed airing.
