Hot Rod Milestones covers 25 of the most influential, innovative hot rods ever built from the late 1940s to the mid-1960s. These cars include the Niekamp roadster, Isky's T, the Pearson Brothers coupe, Doane Spencer's '32, the So-Cal '34 coupe, The Pacific Gunsight Special, and Roth's Outlaw T. Each car's history, technical background, and influence are discussed, along with information on the builders and owners. Photos include contemporary shots of the cars as they exist today, along with vintage photos of the cars when they were first built and shown.
With Ken Gross' deep knowledge of the genre, and Robert Genat's well-trained lens, this new paperback edition is an important addition to any hot rodder's library.

Every pastime has its greats, and hot rodding is no exception. Once in a while a hot rodder puts together a car that’s so right and so well done, it becomes an instant icon in the rodding world. These cars represent a clear vision, usually from one talented person, and they set the standard for others to follow. They’ve been imitated, coveted, and revered, and today many of them have been painstakingly restored for private collections or museum display. Ken Gross dug deep into each car’s past, interviewing original builders, later owners, restorers, and others who helped shape these cars. His text covers each car’s history, technical background, and the influence they have today, often bringing to light new information. Robert Genat trained his lens on this select group of cars to capture the proportions, the details, and the essence of what they are. Combine those elements with vintage photos of these cars from "back in the day," and you have a comprehensive history of hot rodding’s heavy hitters--the cars that define what a hot rod should be.
