    I'm very happy to announce that my new book LOST HOT RODS is finally on the shelves. It's been a long wait, but I'm pleased with the results. You can order it directly from the publisher, CarTech Books at (800)551-4754 or cartechbooks.com. It's also at Barnes & Noble (if not, they can order it). And the best price, of course, is at Amazon.

    If you live in the L.A. area, I'llbe doing a book signing at Autobooks Bookstore in Burbank (2900 W. Magnolia Bl--new location) on Saturday Oct. 23 from 10 to 2. Come by and say hi.

    The book covers hot rods, customs, and dragsters, some that were famous cover cars, others that haven't been out of the garage in 40 years or more.
    Most are cars that have been found, but there's one chapter on lost cars that are still lost.

    Examples of found cars include Joe Cruce's Tall T, The XR-6 roadster, The Bob Pierson '36 coupe, Doug Cook's '37 Chevy, The American Graffiti '58 Impala, the Bo Jones track T, the Glen Hooker '39 Merc, and George Sein's "Flamer" '32 coupe, among 100-plus cars in 200 pages.

    Hope you like it. Hope there's a sequel.

  7. Mr. Ganahl! Looks like a great new book. I also wanted to thank you for the Street Supercharging book. That book pushed me over the edge and I am on my second blown engine now. Great book. I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on the book or stories from when you were writing it? I was shocked to see you posting on here. Very cool. Thanks, Josh

  12. Pat: I had the high honor of meeting you at the 1998 SEMA Show in which you turned me onto a relatively new publication you were involved in named 'The Rodders Journal'. During my four arduous years at Art Center, I didn't have a lot of time for magazines, movies, entertainment etc, so the SEMA show was my first 'fun' in years. The quality of the magazine and your generous offer of giving me the first three issues that I had missed convinced me to sign on and I've never looked back-I have every issue now and also several of your books and not only are they all informative, they're also great tomes about people, personalities and cultures I wish I could have experienced first-hand. I will continue to support your efforts site-unseen and I greatly appreciate all of your efforts and say 'Thank You' for all that you have done through the decades to keep the fires burning even during the darkest of days.

    I was fortunate to work with Pat on this book, and it's a great read!

    Lots of great photos, and stories told as only Pat can tell them!

  26. I just received my copy yesterday, I could not put it down. What a great book! thank you for putting this together and sharing your archives. There were several cars I had not seen before. I especially like the channeled 36 ragtop with the 40 front end. I took it to work today to show my car guy buddies I work with, I think I sold another 4 copies for you!
     
  27. THANKS Pat, looks like another MUST HAVE for my collection!

    Just finished reading your book, very cool and some great stories. Hope to see more storeis and finds in the future. Roth's A-sedan would be a cool find (it is actually a late 31, has an indented firewall per Andy southard's book). Thanks for the hard work!
