About This Item
MN: Cartech, 2013. Bound in stiff black wraps, with picture of a lime green show rod on the front panel. 159 pp. + ads. Scarce, well produced book. "The 1960s and 1970s were a time of artistic excess ... the 1960s and 1970s were also a time of intense automotive enthusiasm ... When these two forces came together the results were unforgettable. A new breed of car was developed -- the Show Rod. These creations were never intended for use on the streets, and many of them were never intended for any use at all. Customizers designed and built them to attract huge crowds to the big car show circuit that was traveling the country at the time, and they certainly succeeded. What began as visions of futuristic cars eventually morphed into cartoon-like representations of cars. things got wilder when the model car industry got involved, and then television shows and pop music acts jumped in too ... This one of a kind book is a round table discussion featuring all of these great customizers discussing the era, their builds, and each others rods." Hundreds of color illustrations throughout. . First Edition. Soft Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket - As Published. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
