Hot Rod magazine cover car

Crower Cams owner's Hudson, which I think is the above photo

Stutz Bearcat Roadster, still legendary 90 years after it was built

Bill Stroppe's winning race car, (if you don't know who he is: http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2008/10/01/hmn_feature16.html )

I didn't waste my time showing you all the ads selling cars that were freatured in Hot Rod, most as cover cars and show winners... there were so many.

The cover story isn't in this issue.. the pages were printed wrong and page 62 wasn't included to explain how to buy Dean's transporter

This is the Dean Moon Cheetah transporter.. and my December 1961 issue of Car and Driver doesn't have pages 57 to 65. It has pages 73 to 80 printed twice. See http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/12/update-on-dean-moons-awesome-hauler.html

The new owner of the transporter, (and finder of unique autos) Goeff has a copy of the Robert Lee Behme "$16,000 Transporter" article, the pages missing from my issue, and let me share them with you. Thanks to Dan of Hemmings http://blog.hemmings.com/ for connecting us!
