The U.S. edition of Retromotive, an Australia-based premium-pay automotive magazine, will makes its debut on April 19 in 600 Barnes & Noble stores nationally.
Promoted as “much more than yet another classic car magazine,” Retromotive was created three years ago by automotive photographer Nathan Duff.
The magazine focuses on rare classic cars and the personalities of those who own, love and cherish them, founder and publisher Nathan Duff said in a release.
