Description

Almquist (an automotive engineer and himself a hot-rodder) profiles approximately 200 hot rod innovators, and tells the story of the sport. The book traces its history from the sport's golden age following World War II through its popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, to the gas crisis lull of the 1970s, and on to the present. Numerous black and white photographs are prominently featured. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) - from Amzon
