Factory Lightweights: Detroit's Drag Racing Specials of the '60s
Among racers it has never been a secret that a lighter car is a faster
car—particularly in drag racing. When Detroit’s automakers got
involved in organized drag racing, they paid heed to this principle,
issuing a series of rare race-only cars that became legends in their
own time. Factory Lightweights: Detroit’s Drag Racing Specials of the
‘60s chronicles these rare cars that still inspire admirers and imitators
today, like the Ford Fairlane 427 Thunderbolt.

Fuel Altereds Forever
These supercharged, 2,000-horsepower cars from
the bygone days of drag racing demanded the utmost
respect, as did the racers who piloted them. It took a
rare (or slightly crazy) breed of drag racer to slide
behind the wheel of one of these exciting nitro burning
drag cars. Author Steve Reyes has included more
than 250 of his best photos of his favorite class: Fuel
Altereds. Never before heard stories bring the action
right to you.

Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth - His Life, Times, Cars and Art
Who was Ed Roth? The answer depends on who you
ask, and when they knew him. To some, he was a
counter culture, greasy-fingernailed, renaissance man
of the mid 20th Century. To others, he's the creator of
Rat Fink and builder of some of the most creative
custom cars ever to get a coat of candy paint
. To say
his life was interesting is an understatement and this
book covers it all, from art to custom cars, monster shirts
to VW-powered trikes, and the wild life that brought it all
together.
