4.0 out of 5 stars
stunning photography,
By Mark Westrick (longview, washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classic Hot Rods (Paperback)
You can tell that this book was thoroughly thought out. The only drawback being that the author made several mistakes in identifying certain people in the articles. Many misspelled names. But the photography is sensational. This book would be on any hot-rodders wish list!
