Editorial Reviews

Product Description
With the grace and style of a souped-up Seville--and published to coincide with the annual race extravaganza at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah--Hot Rod captures the American obsession with speed, thrills, and cars in an unparalleled collection of photographs. Bestselling author Barry Gifford adds an original novelette that perfectly portrays the rebellious spirit of the images. 80 duotone images.

David Perry was born in Denver and grew up in Southern California playing guitar in rockabilly bands. He currently lives in San Francisco.

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.
