- Hot
Rod: The Photography Of Peter Vincent - Nothing captures
the visual essence of the hot rod like Peter Vincent's photography.
In brilliant color and fully-saturated black-and-white photography,
Vincent will capture America's most essential hot rods, hot
rodders, and racers in dramatic settings such as the Bonneville
Salt Flats and California's dry lakes – the places from
which hot rodders have always drawn inspiration. The majority
of the book's photographs will get the same treatment: each
will have its own page, surrounded by white space and properly
cropped and framed to show off Vincent's photographic artistry.
Woven throughout the book, Vincent will tell the story of
hot rodding through interviews with the originators of the
culture, land speed racers, and the new generation of hot
rodders who are keeping alive the aesthetic sensibility of
hot rodding.
- Hot
Rod Milestones -Beginning in the postwar 1940s and progressing
to the present day, this color history takes a decade-by-decade
look at the hot rods that have become particularly notorious
for their creators' stylistic and mechanical achievements.
A swinging' combination of evocative archival and eye-popping
contemporary color photography showcases landmark creations
by the likes of George Barris (i.e., "Ala Cart"
and "Twister T"), Ed "Big Daddy" Roth
(i.e., "Beatnik Bandit" and "Outlaw"),
and Boyd Coddington
(i.e., "Smoothster"), as well as cars that were
crafted by lesser-known builders but, nonetheless, earned
a fair share of renowned. In all, a celebration of nearly
40 fantastic hot rods.
