Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Hot rodding and custom cars were coming of age in the early '50s, and for a few short years beginning in 1951, Hop Up magazine (sister magazine to Road & Track in the early days) was the first and probably best of the little, pocket-sized hot rod magazines. Original issues are highly sought after and tough to find.
This volume (a 6x9 book that's thick as a brick) contains every page of every issue of the first year of Hop Up magazine, and the material -- car features, how-tos, and even ads -- is pure gold. Wanna know what it was like in the '50s? This is the real deal. If you're into hot rods or customs of any kind, this book is essential reading, and Mark Morton deserves our thanks for making it happen....
