Hot Rod Magazine gathers together over 300 classic cover and feature cars from their 65 year history, dating back to 1948. Clearly a once in a life time event. Very cool video. Even a cool flathead Pontiac powered lakester!

At the Detroit Autorama, notallthere and I said that Linda Vaughan and Courtney Hansen are starting to look like each other. You be the judge!

Great story. Courtney needs some cup size, but could be the new age Linda.

Agreed. At Autorama, notallthere and I think Courtney was started to catch some of Linda's crows feet. Also, she was not as platinum blonde as she appears on Powerblock.

Just had time to watch the video, this. is. awesome!

There are some many covers of Hot Rod I remember. One that I still vividly remember was the Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen Hot Wheels truck and funny car. I rremember that cover and the Popular Hot Rodding cover of the Snake doing a fiery burnout. It was in the days of the Hot Wheels sponsorship. I had both Hot Wheels cars and the drag set with the parachutes. I still have the cars somewhere. I also have a Hot Wheels Special Edition both an accurate 1:64 scale and 1:18 scale of each car. Very cool.

I got to meet Prudhomme in 2002 at the GM Tech Center in Warren MI by accident. I was there for a meeting and at the time he was the car owner for Larry Dixon's top fuel dragster. It was a great experience.

So you can say that there are some icon cars from the days of Hot Rod Magazine that influenced me as a kid for sure.
