Some guy on ebay has five of them listed.The one I looked at was a June of 1953 issue.Early competition for Hot Rod?

Yep, Honk turned into Car Craft. You don't see these very often at swap meets.

I never would have guessed that. The guy says he is selling his Collection. Might be worth keeping an eye on him.

He has 4 "Rod & Custom's" from the 50's too.

Published by Petersen, they were competition for R&C (which was originally published by Quinn). They're excellent (I have them all -- I was the original buyer!)

Thats what I put it on here for.

I bid on them, but really have no use for them. I was gonna "HAMB Auction" 'em if I got them, but somebody has already outbid me.
