Swell

Wow, this "book" is cool. This is one of the best publications I have on traditional hot rods and kustoms. That says a lot when you consider I have The Best of Hot Rod Magazine 1949-1959, Hop Up: The First 12 Issues and a couple books from the 50s on hot rodding. It has a nice balance of today's traditional rod kulture and the original rods. Almost like looking back in time. If you are into traditional rodding this is a must have.

Far Beyond the Traditional

"Abandoned Autos" examines some of the subtleties of American automobile culture. The photos contained in this work range from vehicles rediscovered in farmers' fields, to several with trees growing through the engine compartment. Such photos are then contrasted wth corporate promotional literature from when the vehicles were new. Excellent stuff for readers who are lured by the path less travelled and can appreciate the beauty and even sadness embodied in these cultural icons depicted well past their prime.
