Your car on the front of a magazine

If you have had your car on the front cover of any hot-rod book, please share, because its a big thing when your is on the front cover on a magazine.

 

Hey, I'm easy, jus give me a feature story ! scrubba

 

I haven't but my late Father did. He restored a 1949 Willys station wagon and it was on the cover of " CAR EXCANGE ", June 1987

 

Best I can do is offer my Deuce pickup on the Coker Tire catalog. HRP

 

R&C August 2008...not exactly the cover, but close enuff...

 

My F-1 was on the cover of Custom Classic Trucks, plus a Center Spread a month later.
I re did the car that was on the cover of the very first issue of Rods and Customs (the original title) in 1953.

 

Heres ours.

 

This was in Auto trader,some chick got in the way,but it seemed to work out.

 

OP is talking about those who hit a homerun(cover), not a classified ad. Nice ride,maybe someday.

 

My six-bangers have been on the Inliners International newsletter covers a couple of times.

But I was even more pleased when magazines like SuperFord, Gasser, and Drag Review accepted my technical articles for publication.

 

Not the cover, but my wagon did make the Table of Contents of 'America's Coolest Station Wagons' by jangleguy here on the Hamb.

 

Here's my grandfather driving his dragster on the cover of Hot Rod November 1954 (bottom car on the cover). I currently have the car getting it redone.

 

Thanks for playing homie but your dead wrong, it wasnt a classified ad,it was a back cover,a cover none the less.Anyway why would i post an add with a girl covering half the ride?.and if you know this when did i try and sell my shoebox?..i seemed to have missed that part of my life

 

That's cool,,I tried but our wagon was still a couple of years away from being finished. HRP

 

Well, my car was on the cover of Goodguys latest issue. What a surprise!
It was also featured in Traditional rod and custom, issue#28

 

Just trying to figure it out. Its not a cover so why its on the thread? Mine was IN a mag but not cover so no post.

Congrats to all who did make the cover. Fine work!

 

Yes, my '57 VW was on the cover of VW Trends, in June or July, 2001, being chased by a very O/T (New beetle) cop car.
Hope the mention doesn't get this thread deleted, if there is a problem, please PM me and I'll delete the post, so the rest can be left on here, Thanks.

 

My '55 Cadillac was on the cover (corner shot) of the May, 2012 Rod & Custom...and was featured inside on five pages...

R-

 

Hey does that make it look better, go faster, or drive nicer?
If so I gotta look for a cover for mine !!
If not...............

Uh might increase the value if you're selling.....

 

Wasn't my car, but I had one that I painted on the cover of Car and Driver.

 

Gotgas didn't make a cover but the inside.. You gonna get all over his ass ? Thanks for being the hamb police... Now hand in your badge

 

I havent even received the car yet, but I have paid for it Sorry, but I didnt buid it. That is The Harris` appraisal.

LOL at the memory, about 30 years ago my buddy calls me up and tells me that my truck is on the cover of a magazine that is published here in the PNW. I make a trip to the store and buy the magazine and take home and after about five minutes of looking I find the right front corner of my windshield and roof peeking out from behind the car that was behind the car that they took the picture of.

I'd have to say that having your car to be chosen to be on the cover of a magazine is one of the higher honors of building a car. Maybe someday Or just as good having April May pick my rig for her calender or something she sells.

 

Hey 30nerd, what about my model car cover? Does that count? You have a copy, I don't.

Dmarv- that's the coolest!

 

My car was offered this magazine cover, but I turned it down.......

 

Good one, 28ChevyCoupe! Mine only made page 7 of that issue.

 

My Willys on some old covers.

 

I think I still have the popular Hot Rodding that your Willys was on in a box somewhere 33Hemi. That is if the mice didn't get in that box and chew up the magazine in it. Most of my somewhere around 5000 magazine collection will probably end up at the dump because it got ruined in storage.
