A Nostalgia Trip

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Was the 50's your decade? Relive the memories, the optimism, the cars and the lifestyle of those early, more innocent years. Or, experience for the first time the custom-car craze, the horsepower race; when Detroit built terrific cars and America was the greatest country in the world! Nostalgic history of the way things were in the 1950's. Cars we drove, clothes we wore, the movies, the drive-ins, service stations, car shows, car clubs, what we read, drag races, street racing, rappin' pipes and more. Hub caps, squirrel knobs, blue dots, and flamers all get their time in the spotlight.

Autorenporträt

Albert Drake has been a hot rodder since 1951, when he built a '29 A-V8 roadster and joined the old Road Angels club. That same year he became a charter member of the Columbia Timing Association (CTA) and the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). In addition to the 'Fifties Flashbacks column that he has written for Rod Action for 16 years, he's published some 300 articles and features in Street Rodder, Rodder's Digest, Rod Action, Popular Cars, Custom Car, American Rodder, Collector Car, Old Cars Weekly, Hot Rod & Custom (England) and others. His automotive books include Street Was Fun in '51, the first book on historical hot rodding; Hot Rodder!, the first history of hot rodding from the 'Twenties to the 'Nineties; and Flat Out, the history of So-Cal dry lake competition from 1930-50. Although his primary interest is rod and custom history, he has written two books on the Pontiac GTO: The Big 'Little GTO' Book, a definitive history, and Herding Goats, an oral history.
