I had a great time putting together this latest issue of HOT CARS. I got to spend some time with some great people. I spent a Saturday morning in Stockton photographing Roger Lee's dragster and talking with Roger about nostalgia drag racing and model car building. Two of my favorite subjects. Then I got to know Randy Thompson a little better as I spent a Sunday afternoon photographing his amazing truck! Randy DRIVES his truck! He told me some interesting road trip stories. I got to talk with Gary Campesi, an artist I meet through "The HUB' on the internet. I've been a BIG fan of his art work and I'm really happy that he wanted to share his talent with our readers. Our project car gets a new E-Brake and Gas Pedal! Our summer events coverage is a special look at the Goodguys West Coast Nationals!

The 1970s were a decade of changing tastes and new directions in automobile design, with the advent of the economy-driven, compact family car and the development of the muscle car. The era is famous for great-value cars such as the Datsun 240Z as well as the powerful and extravagant Ford Mustang and Pontiac Firebird. Hot Cars of the '70s celebrates the best cars of the decade, providing a detailed look at more than sixty of the greatest and most stylish automobiles from around the world. All the great names are covered, including Aston Martin, BMW, Chevrolet, Citroen, Datsun, Dodge, Ford, Jaguar, Lotus, Pontiac, Porsche, and Triumph. Illustrated with specially commissioned photography, each car is examined from all angles in close-up detail. Specifications are provided for each machine, including performance statistics, engine type, transmission, special features, running gear, and dimensions. The book also takes a close look under the hood, examining the chassis and suspension as well as the design of the engine. Finally, the book tracks the production milestones of each car and marks refinements and developments in styling and performance. Packed with information and great photos, this volume is a must for all lovers of the classic and stylish machines of the 1970s. Book jacket.
