Description
Book SynopsisHOT ROD Magazine: 75 Years is the official illustrated history of automotive enthusiasts’ favorite magazine.
Trade Review"What I really dig about the HOT ROD Magazine: 75 Years. Is the way they broke it out by decades. I can dig deep into the historical figures of the 1940s. Or when the mood hits, get groovy over the crazy cars and dragsters of the 1960s. If you have a garage library like I do, then this is a MUST-HAVE on your shelf. A timeless tome that you will share with your brothers over pizza after installing that new intake" * Blacktop Magazine *
"At times, the writing so captures the scene at the moment that it’s almost possible to smell oil, and there’s even a temptation to look back for greasy fingerprints after a page is turned." * ClassicCars.Ride-CT.com *
"For the hot rod enthusiast, especially fans of Hot Rod Magazine, this is the essential ‘coffee table’ book to share with friends, or put in your waiting room to entertain clients, if you trust them not to walk away with it." * Sun Cruiser Media *
