About Ron Perry
Before joining the Autobytel family in June of 2005, Ron Perry spent twenty years as a freelance photographer in the automotive community, shooting cars for automakers and magazines, including Road & Track. Before striking out on his own with camera in hand, Ron worked at a daily newspaper as a staff photographer shooting news stories – at least until an editor with a passion for cars fueled his automotive interests. Today, Ron focuses on high-performance sports cars of the past and the designs of the future. Not surprisingly, then, Ron owns a 1990 Porsche 928S4, but someday hopes to add a Ferrari Testarossa, a Lotus Esprit, and Volvo P1800 to his stable. Having to give up his 2000 Jaguar XJR in favor of a 2004 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab was, “a necessity of the craft,” he says.
