David Perry, Foreword by Robt. Williams. For as long as young men have been channeling, chopping, and hopping up rods and customs, women - whether loyal girlfriends or trouble-seeking "bad girls" - have been an integral to their scene. In this unique portfolio evoking great 1950s pin-up artists like Vargas and Elvgren, talented photographer David Perry depicts models in and out of cherry-picked rods and customs wearing painstakingly chosen period dress and hairstyles. More than 100 photos present these modern-day pin-ups under three themes: Garage, Cruising, and Race. In addition, essays explore each topic and are also accompanied by pulp novel covers, period mags, and ads that place the photography in a historical context. Captions identify the car owners, photo location, and, where appropriate, interesting car specs and histories.

FANTASTIC,

This review is from: Hot Rod Pin-ups (Hardcover)
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!

This review is from: Hot Rod Pin-ups (Hardcover)
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars
