Muscle Cars and Hot Rods
My fascination with American Muscle Cars started at a tender age of 17 years old when I first bought a copy of Hot Rod magazine imported from America.
Moving on some 40+ years and a lifetime collection of car books still in my possession from my youth, the ones that I still go back to look at are my collection of American Muscle Cars books.
