    1. Aircooled Cool
    2. hamb plymouth club.

    I don't even know if any car magazines were published in 1945 but I was not really concerned about hot rods and customs back then anyway.

    I stole this off P-bucket, sorry. Look at that badass 4 deuce engine, it's all cool. And I think I just found a wheel/ tyre era style I can permanently go for on my project. Thanks El Caballo!

    It's funny that it has an article about V8ing a Corvair and I used to own a V8 Corvair street freak. IMG_20170703_102503.jpg

    Not sure that I could answer that question. I did have a June '54 Popular mechanics when I was a kid but I don't recall what was on the cover and I am not sure I have ever seen a popular hot rod mag from June of '54.
