Hop Up: The Golden Anniversary (Paperback)

by Mark Morton (Editor)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
From New England to the desert Southwest, hidden automotive treasures are pictured resting (and rusting) away in scenic American settings. Featuring Hemmings' trademark humorous writing, the full-color book compiles some of the best photos from the publisher's popular calendars, in addition to never-before-published gems. This entertaining book puts a unique twist on the before-and-after angle by including print advertisements from each vehicle's first days on the new car market. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Far Beyond the Traditional, June 23, 2000

By	E.A. Shoemaker (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abandoned Autos (Paperback)

"Abandoned Autos" examines some of the subtleties of American automobile culture. The photos contained in this work range from vehicles rediscovered in farmers' fields, to several with trees growing through the engine compartment. Such photos are then contrasted wth corporate promotional literature from when the vehicles were new. Excellent stuff for readers who are lured by the path less travelled and can appreciate the beauty and even sadness embodied in these cultural icons depicted well past their prime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Swell, October 20, 2006

This review is from: Hop Up (Paperback)

Wow, this "book" is cool. This is one of the best publications I have on traditional hot rods and kustoms. That says a lot when you consider I have The Best of Hot Rod Magazine 1949-1959, Hop Up: The First 12 Issues and a couple books from the 50s on hot rodding. It has a nice balance of today's traditional rod kulture and the original rods. Almost like looking back in time. If you are into traditional rodding this is a must have.
