DESCRIPTION:
Clearly the ultimate historical book of the 60's Hot Rod! Excellent photography, well written, and, by a man who "knew them all" -- Andy Southard Jr. - wow! He has captured the custom car and hot rod culture of the 60's as no other could, with his fabulous photographic library and unparalled knowledge of the special vehicles and the personalities he writes about.This is a "must read" for all who are interested in the history and art form of hot rods and custom cars, whether they be past. The best photography John O. Morton I remember Andy Southard,jr. when I had a custom body and paint shop in Oakland California. Andy was doing pinstriping and taking photos for some of the leading "Hot Rod" magazines. The amazing thing about Andy's photos, the quality is superior and really shows the true colors of the "Candy Apple" and Pearl paint jobs done by some really talented people, including the late Bill Cushenbery.Andy was right there during the "Cool Day. "Andy Southard is a great author. The layout is great" according to Jericho Taetz. Andy Southard is a great author. The layout is great, pictures are awesome and the text is not overly long or obnoxious. Southard does a great job in representing not only the famous show cars, but the lesser known, "built in mom's garage" ones. Highly recommended for any custom car enthusiast
Great hot rods and custom cars are featured in "looks-like-it-was-taken-yesterday" photographs from the 1960s.A follow-up book to his Custom Cars of the 1950s and Hot Rods of the 1950s, this book features beautiful color photos of wild cars modified in the "groovy" and"far out" trends of the 1960s. Filled with metalflake and chromed custom cars at shows, on the streets, and tire-smoking hot rods on the race tracks.
