Bestselling author Barry Gifford adds an original novelette that perfectly portrays the rebellious spirit of the images. 80 duotone images.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome traditional hot rod art photography, March 20, 2005

By	A. Summerer (Plainwell, MI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Don't know how to describe it. Picked up the book and took a look at all the great B&W photos and had to have it! Like another reviewer said: "Cars, shops, Bonneville" - it's all here. Maybe second only to Peter Vincent's book, but his is 3x the size (and price). Every photo in this book has got SOUL! Words don't do it justice.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tasty, Especially for Gear Heads., September 3, 1998

By A Customer

Although I wish there was more text, the great photos give you a pretty good idea about the gear heads, the drivers, the races, and those incredible salt flats.
