Art of the Hot Rod

by Ken Gross, Peter Harholdt (Photographer)

The best hot rods are art on four wheels, and this book is nothing less than a gallery of the best of American hot rods.Profiling top builders and featuring studio portraits of their most outstanding custom creations, this book celebrates the uniquely American marriage of mechanical know-how and an inspired sense of style and design.Built from the ground up, pieced together from salvaged parts, rebuilt with classic looks and futuristic technology--these are automotive works of art, as powerful on the page as they are on the street.
