Sorry buddy, but the ‘53 Studebaker is one of the most beautiful cars ever to come out of “Detroit” (really South Bend). It’s always on any list of the 50 most beautiful cars ever, even Top 25 lists. And the picture you show of the Dodge pickup is the Dakota, not the Ram that you seem to be talking about. The Dakota is weak, the Ram is mucho macho tough.

Hello,
I am Tom McCahill’s stepson and have 67 leather bound volumes of his work. It is the only complete set. Do you have any idea where I can market these books. I was the photographer for Tom and tested the cars with him and for him.
Thank you,
Brooks Braender

Where would a person go to find the $ value for a old hot rod magazine?
I have all ways loved muscle cars, never had one but never new much of it’s history. This magazine has enlighten me, from how it came about, and how the true lovers new where the sport was going. I’m just curius as to how many admires would really appreciate what this magazine does to make your awarness of the fun of having drivng at that speed in a much safer manne.

I agree with you that the Asian look “slanted eyed” headlights on new cars are ugly. But I think that F150 truck had a much cleaner and nicer front end than the bug catcher on the Dodge truck. And why do you want all the manufacturers to copy each other? We have no variety! I can’t buy a car that is different. Ford came out with the Taurus, and a year later, all you could see at the dealers was row upon row of cars with rounded bodywork. Some of us liked a squared off car with crome bumpers and round headlights. Some of us like 2 door hatchbacks for the utility AND the look. Some of us realize that disk brakes rust out completely in 6 months to a year in the roadsalt of Central N.Y., and that low profile tires might look nice, but offer no protection against potholes. We ought to have options and variety.
