The best hot rods are art on four wheels, and this book, a collection of studio photography of the cars produced by the world’s top hot-rod builders, is nothing less than a gallery of the best of American hot rodding. Profiling top builders like Pete Chapouris, Roy Brizio, Vern Tardel, Troy Trepanier, and 15 others and featuring studio portraits of their most outstanding custom creations, this book celebrates the uniquely American marriage of mechanical know-how to an inspired sense of style and design. Built from the ground up, pieced together from salvaged parts, rebuilt with classic looks and futuristic technology—these are automotive works of art, as powerful on the page as they are on the street. Through the stunning portraiture of master photographer Peter Harholdt, Art of the Hot Rod captures these magnificent creations as never seen before.

Recensione:
This book can be a real problem you pick it up for a quick thumb through and the next thing you know, you ve lost an hour. Yes, it would be easy to dismiss this as a coffee-table book, but Art of the Hot Rod is so much more than that given its sheer bulk it also represents very good value. Harholdt s pictures are simply sublime and the choice of rods is absolutely spot-on from the classic 32 Ford Roadster to Sixties Thunderbirds the book s contents mixes the new with the well-known like So-Cal s 1951 Belly Tank racer. The only problem we found is that the pictures are so fantastically distracting that it s actually hard to concentrate on the black squiggly written stuff but if you make the effort, you ll find it very informative. Literally inspiring literally. --Dep-O Magazine dot ;This book gives readers the opportunity to step inside the private world of 22 of the top hot rod builders in a way that s never been done. They include: Bobby Alloway, Roy Brizio, Pete Chapouris, Dave Crouse, Zane Cullen, Rick Dore, Steve Frisbie, Richard Graves, Alan Johnson, the Kennedy brothers, Barry Lobeck, Donn Lowe, Jim Lowrey, Jr., Steve Moal, Don Orosco, Ken 'POSIES' Fenical, Keith Cornell and Ken Schmidt ('Rolling Bones'), Dave Simard, Vern Tardel and Troy Trepanier--streetrodding dot com-- We get quite a few books to review at DRCReview dotcom and many are stock-piled for inclusion over the coming months. However, one title called Art of the HOT ROD by Ken Gross, has jumped the queue. Why? You might ask. Well the answer is because this publication stands head and shoulders above many other titles we ve seen of late. The quality of photographs is superb, the editorial content entertaining and to the point and this book will be of huge interest to all hot rodders, whether you like painted or unpainted cars. If I told you this publication is more like a hardback, thicker version of The Rodders Journal then this wouldn t be too far from the truth. This is a quality publication with great design, creative use of images, written by a hot rodder for hot rodders.There are chapters (mainly pictorial) devoted to all of the established builders, such as Bobby Alloway, Troy Trepanier, Barry Lobeck, Rick Dore, Steve Moal, Roy Brizio, Rolling Bones and many, many others with stunning photographs throughout from established studio photographer, Peter Harholdt --Drag Rod and Classics dot com;Excellent, good-value tome. --Evening Standard&;This book gives readers the opportunity to step inside the private world of 22 of the top hot rod builders in a way that s never been done.

They're an almost uniquey American passion and the aim here, too, is all about making a staement. In the US they take the busines very seriously indeed, often heavily modifying early cars mechanically and visually, to the highest standards, untill they stand out from the crowds. Peter Hardholt's photogarphy is sublime! -- -- --London Evening Standard --Bolton News, March, 2009
