Hot Rod Chronicle

From the dry lakes to the drag strips to the streets, buckle up for a white-knuckle blast through hot rod history. Hot Rod Chronicle charts the progress of hot rodding from the stripped-down jalopies of the 1930s to the high-tech street rods of today's multimillion-dollar industry. Hear from the men behind the machines and read the stories of more than 40 seminal cars that helped define an American phenomenon. And, while modern rods, often with few or no original parts, have become the darlings of the show circuit, a resurgence of interest in traditional style hot rods, abetted by the curious phenomenon of the rat rodders, has begun; we're truly going back to the future. Primer, steelies, stick shifts, and flatheads are back. Authenticity is in.Hardcover - 12-1/4' x 12-1/4' - 144 pages - 305 color, 110 b/w
