Hot Rod Showcase


Hot Rod Showcase is a brand new, limited run(3000) publication that covers traditional style hot rods. The first issue is a standout. Beautiful photography is the big calling card of Hot Rod Showcase. It’s a joy to the eyes. It lets you experience the cars, not just look at them.

Now, you can take as many good photos as you’d like but if the subject material isn’t up to snuff it really doesn’t matter. Luckily the cars are top notch. The cover car, a ‘32 Ford roadster is just stunning. From the unique top treatment to the superb, race-inspired interior, this ‘32 is just gorgeous. Continuing in this fine line-up is a serious ‘32 Ford Truck. Nothing on this car was left alone when it came to the pinstripers brush, all wonderfully done. 1927 T’s are cool and they’re even better when you load them with 470" aluminum big-block Chevy. There’s a nice Model A Sedan Delivery because anything you top off with Halibrands usually comes out cool.

I really liked this magazine/book. Comparable to The Rodder’s Journal with an English bent. And that is a compliment.
