Retro Rods (Enthusiast Color Series)

Over the last few years, "old school" techniques and aesthetics have emerged as the predominant trends among hot rod enthusiasts. Some of today's most notable "retro rods" are featured in this all-color overview of the current nostalgia for simpler and more utilitarian vehicles. Color photography depicts new hot rods that are built to resemble cars of the 1940s and 1950s, as well as some of the more unique and outrageous customs of the 1960s and '70s. In addition, the authors present case examples of hot rods from the 1940s and '50s that have been restored to their former glory.
