{"product_id":"hot-rod-mavericks-tony-thacker-9780760387344","title":"HOT ROD Mavericks","description":"Produced in cooperation with HOT ROD magazine, HOT ROD Mavericks takes you on a rollicking look back on more than a century of trailblazers, risk-takers, hell-raisers, and forward-thinkers.\nNo aspect of automobile culture embodies the DIY spirit like hot rodding. From prewar pressed steel and milled four-bangers to modern machined billet and 800-hp behemoths, the story of hot rodding has been the story of can-do iconoclasts who did for themselves what Detroit wouldn’t do for them. Longtime hot rod and custom car historian Tony Thacker crafts an illustrated history that leaves no camshaft unturned.\nJust some of the 50-plus movers and shakers profiled are:\nPioneers of the speed equipment industry like Barney Navarro, Ed “Isky” Iskendarian, and Vic Edelbrock\nPostwar racers and builders Alex Xydias, Mickey Thompson, and Ak Miller\nQuarter-mile dragstrip heroes such as “TV” Tommy Ivo, “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, and Shirley “Cha-Cha” Muldowney\nKustom kulture icons Dean Jeffries, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, Von Dutch, Sam and George Barris, and Gene Winfield\nThacker also includes latter-day innovators who kept hot rodding a going concern, like Pete \u0026amp; Jake, Boyd Coddington, and Chip Foose. HOT ROD Mavericks is accompanied by exceptional images sourced from Motor Trend Group’s archives at The Petersen Automotive Museum. \nCelebrate the rebels who revolutionized hot rodding with this authoritative and visually engaging history.","brand":"Quarto Publishing Group USA Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50054407356704,"sku":"9780760387344","price":25.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780760387344.jpg?v=1768516884","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/hot-rod-mavericks-tony-thacker-9780760387344","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
