$35.00
"Best-selling author, historian and performance artist Charles Phoenix follows up his remarkable hit book Southern California in the '50s with an even more remarkable Kodachrome study of the world that existed between Santa Barbara and San Diego in the 40s, 50s and 60s. His retro slide tour takes readers to places they never dreamed existed, and our guide tags along with amateur photographers who snapped the best of Southern California. Charles Phoenix grew up in Ontario in a '50s ranch home during the '60s and '70s, and went on countless family outings to the beach, desert, mountains, shopping centers and amusement parks. It stuck, as you can see in this book."

The Birth of Hot Rodding The Story of the Dry Lakes Era
$34.95
"The nearest thing to it, as I thought then, would be like landing on the moon!"" --Wally Parks, describing the dry lakes In the garages, shops, and fertile minds of 1920s car buffs in search of more power and speed, the hot rodding movement was born. A hot bed of this early quest for speed sprang up when the first Southern California hot rod builder hauled his creation over the ridge of mountains and opened up the throttle on the Mojave Desert's dry lakes. The dry lake beds of the desert provided the common denominator, the measuring stick against which all hot rod builders would judge their modified machines. These dry lakes were in secluded spots where this creative breed of car folk could come together to share ideas, learn from the masters, and compete to be the fastest for the weekend. These wide open havens for speed and freedom nestled within the mountains north of Los Angeles provided nature's perfect racing surface: perfectly flat, free of obstacles, with miles to go in any direction. Places like Muroc, El Mirage, and Harper were transformed from ancient prehistoric no-man's-land to the weekend testing grounds of speed. Author Robert Genat brings together stories of the golden age of hot rodding from the men and women who pioneered the sport in The Birth of Hot Rodding. Profiles of the most influential racers, cars, and events accompany original photography to create a definitive history of hot rod racing on the dry lakes. With a foreword by Wally Parks, NHRA founder and chairman of the NHRA Motorsports Museum, The Birth of Hot Rodding encapsulates a unique piece of racing history."

The Hot Rod: Resurrection of a Legend
$24.95
"In the late 1950s a slightly mad kart racer named Frank ""Duff"" Livingston had the nerve to enter the quintessential American vehicle—a hot rod—in a sports car race. Hot rods may have been successful in crude American-style drag races, but according to conventional wisdom, they had no place competing on a road course against European sports cars. But Duff and his Eliminator defied that wisdom and beat some of the finest sports cars in the world. The Eliminator soon went into retirement, but many people remembered its achievements. One of these people happened to be Brock Yates, who acquired the Eliminator in the 1990s. Yates campaigned the car in vintage sports car races, and soon the Eliminator was once again beating Ferraris and Porsches on U.S. road courses. The car inspired Yates to build a modern interpretation of the concept, and he took one of the most potent engines available—a Viper V-10—and mounted it in a hot rod chassis with a road-racing-inspired suspension. His goal? To build the fastest, best-handling, and just plain coolest hot rod on the road. The resulting Eliminator Special proved a fitting tribute to the original Eliminator. About the Author: Brock Yates is one of the best-known and most respected automotive journalists in the world today. He is currently an editor for Car and Driver magazine and his byline has appeared on numerous books, features in major magazines, columns for websites and The Wall Street Journal. He has also authored movie scripts for Cannonball Run and Smokey and the Bandit II. He is the creator of the famed 1970's Cannonball Run road race which he chronicled in the best-selling book Cannonball!, published by MBI Publishing Company in 2002. Hardcover • 6” x 9” • 256 pages • 40 color, 40 b/w"
