This book is a collection of essays that compromise an automotive and cultural history that dates from the 1950s. Discussing hot rods, custom cars, motorcycles, sports cars, and the people who built and owned them, these essays provide a record of the beginnings of modern automotive history. Other essays deal with the beginnings of drag racing and early car shows and automotive expos. All essays are written by the author, who was both a participant and observer of these activities. It is a wealth of colorful writing on the people, machines, movies and cultural events that shaped hot rod culture.
