Folks Of Interest Don Montgomery

2007 GNRS

 

I believe this is the last book and this completed his books. I have all of them autographed to me as gifts from my sister except this one that I bought personally in 07.
Good girl.

 

Damn, sorry to hear. RIP Rockerhead. So, the NSRA 1991 Nats appears to be Ground Zero, interesting.

 

His first book was Hot Rods in the Forties, which was copyrighted in 1987. I understand he wrote some articles prior to that about early Hot Rodding. Really appreciate his effort to pull the whole series of books together rather than all of that history and photos getting lost to time.

 

I met Don a few times at LARS

Sad day. We will miss you Don. Condolences to Don's family. Here's a rare photo of Don with friends. "Me" is Larry Shinoda who is bent down working on the engine. Larry Shinoda shared this picture with me.

 

I still have four of his books, $75.00 each plus the ride..

 

I didn't see it mentioned here....the American Hot Rod Foundation podcast with Don Montgomery was released shortly after his passing. It's a good listen.
