    This is my favorite cover. Dad bought me this issue at McKays Market for my 10th birthday. I still have it. When I get home I will dig out the March 1949.

    I did a search for "Hot Rod magazine March 1952" and it came right up so give that a try for your month and year....

    Thanks to jimmy six for the inspiration, I guess this is the cover that best qualifies for my birthday, August 1943

    Dinosaurs had just recently become extinct when I was born in 59 however some other people still refer to me as one. :D:p Many are now defunct however searching for them was fun. At least it was an eclectic mix with different publications that month.

    I came into the world at 3:10AM September 20, 1956, at Santa Monica Hospital, CA. My dad was an airline pilot but I inherited car genes from my mother's side who had a brother who was a roadster and stock car racer from Ohio. This is the Hot Rod Magazine cover from September, 1956.
