By John M. Arnaud
Originally a hardcover book that became an instant classic, the softcover version of Hot Rod Milestones: America’s Coolest Coupes, Roadsters & Racers aims put this bestseller into the hands of more hot rod aficionados than ever before.
Like any other hobby with a devoted legion of fans, hot rodding enjoys its own beloved history, with iconic cars, personalities, and events universally revered by its following. Certain cars have had an indelible effect on the pastime, and Hot Rod Milestones compiles the best of these for the enjoyment of those who live and breathe the category.
Twenty-five hot rods receive comprehensive treatment in the book, among them Ed Iskenderian’s 1924 T Roadster, Tommy Ivo’s 1925 T Roadster, Blackie Gejeian’s 1926 T Roadster, and Ray Brown’s 1932 Roadster in the Street and Competition category; the So-Cal 1934 Coupe and “Chili” Catallo’s “Little Deuce Coupe in Street and Competition Coupes; and Ed Roth’s Outlaw “T” and Tony La Masa’s 1932 Roadster in the Show Roadsters/Coupes section.
Author Ken Gross chronicles the vision and impact of each featured vehicle, while the photography of Robert Genat captures the proportions, details, and essence of what made these cars visual legends. Also included are vintage photos of those roadsters and coupes, which allow for a welcome glimpse back in time.
