This is a must-have for fans of retro hot rods and pin-up art. The cars are very primal - no billet or Boyd Cottingham crap here. They range from rat rods to lead sleds to full kustoms, as well as everything in between. And the models are in period-correct clothing (or out of said clothing!). Perry has noted personalities from the art and rodding worlds contributing essays, including Rob't. Williams. The author correctly evokes the period without beating you over the head with it; he captures it matter of factly. All the cars are interesting, with info on the car and the pin-up model given. Naturally, these gals are scorchingly hot. Guys, this is the genuine article. You need this book!

If you like Hot Rods and Beautiful Women, You'll enjoy this book. AND if you're into photography that's a plus because this book will give you great ideas. David Perry is a genius in my humble opinion and knows how to combine these two things to create beautiful images.

not as great as the 2007, but another good one. more pics from David Perry's book "Hot Rod Pin Ups"- again with Hell's Belle CC member Heidi VanHorne on the cover and more hot pin up girls with cool hot rods inside.

The cars are much better than the girls. The women generally are not classy looking. Maybe that is what David Perry had in mind. The cover shot is the best pinup shot. The photography is super.

I hate to be a geek, but I was looking at the cars more than the girls the first time I went through this book. There are lots of famous hot rods here, rat rods and stylish customs too. But then, I noticed how cool all the photos are - Perry has an incredible eye for setting up a cool photo. Don't get me wrong, the women in here are beautiful and sexy, and I found out after reading the book (I paged through the first 10 times) that they are wearing vintage clothing too. But man if you love cool cars like me it's hard to decide what to look at.

Great photography,with some great babes draped over cool cars.
Dave Perry has a way of photographing period perfect clothed girls in provocative ways that make the girls a counterpoint to beater rods. If you've got a grain of warm blood still pulsing though your veins then these girls will quicken the pulse.

David Perry not only gets the Hot Rod Kulture, he's part of it! and luckily, for us, he captures it on film, with mastery.
The book is awsome. His choice of cars and models is right m*#@ing on!
The only problem is keeping my friend's greasy mitts off my copy...
I guess I'll have to get a couple more...books that is

If you like hot rods, nice and through girls, theses pictures are for you !

I love this book. It shows fashion from various eras and adds the rough style of classic cars. The history is a good added bonus, but the pictures are more interesting to look at. Very colorful and exciting.

David perry (along with Chas Ray Kriger) is one of the two best photographic exponents of the future noir pinup genre. I waited a long time for the release of this book, and as I expected,the photographs are wonderful. Pity the book has been let down with some of the worst publishing design I have seen in ages. The cheesy slogans etc posted over the photographs and the annoying black boxes with model and car info in the corner of each photo are very distracting. The photographs speak well enough for themselves and would have been much better suited to full page spreads (as in David Perry's Hot Rod book) without the annoyingly colourful graphic design vomit on each page. Anyway if you dig pin up photography its still worth your dough..
