Garage Style Magazine, I just learned of it, and after reading through the newest issue, recommend it. (Car guy stuff through and through)

In the above issue, I was enjoying the article on the Irish car makers and oldest car maker in Ireland (Peare Motor Works) and oldest traffic light, the Speedway Brewing Company near Olympia Washington, Denny's collection, Frank's collection, Larry's collection, John's Porsche collection, Michael's Corvette collection, Jon's collection, news on car shows like the Muckenthaler, the art work of Rick Rucker http://www.drawingcarsiseasy.com/, Booker, and Lambert, the photography of Dean Graham, and a good bio profile of the founder of the Amelia Island Concours, Bill Warner. Plus 5 book reviews I haven't seen anywhere else (Chrisman Legacy and others) plus a garage design company article.

Chock full of awesome garages, collections of petroliana and automobilia, garage art, hood ornaments, advice on garage floors, wall art, garage designs, doors, etc etc, car collections and how that has changed peoples garages (expansion!)

Some famous museums (Mullins!) and work shops too. Check it out when you have reading time, because this isn't a short attention span captioned photo type magazine, this has great writing without all the stats and facts of cars, this magazine tells the stories of the people that desired more that a place to put their stuff, they made great garages! (you can find an issue at Borders or Barnes and Noble) Enjoy! http://www.garagestylemagazine.com/home

Excellent online magazine, Hagerty. If you have classic car insurance through Hagerty, you get the magazine in the mail. For everyone that doesn't:

click on this link: http://www.hagerty.com/Hagerty-Online/Resources/Hagerty-Magazine and then click on whichever issue you want to read. Takes a minute to load, but it's very cool if this is your only way to catch an issue you missed, or if you aren't a customer of theirs

Amos publishing company merges 6 magazines

I used to subscribe to Musclecar Enthusiast. I liked it. I can't remember when I recieved the last one, and don't know if they stopped coming because I didn't renew my subscription, or if they went out of business like Motor Trend Classic did a couple years ago... just poof!

They never informed subscribers that they weren't going to finish with your subscription that you'd paid for. The Motor Trend Classic kept the unfulfilled money and didn't credit me towards another title. They pissed me off.

Anyway, Amos Publications is merging 6 titles into a new magazine called Auto Enthusiast. Cars and Parts, Musclecar Enthusiast were 2 of them.

About 10 pages of Chevy, then Ford, then Mopar, etc etc. I'll let you know how it turns out, but the one issue I flipped through looked good enough to get me to subscribe.

Fuel Magazine has just added an online Zine, it's awesome, here is a small sample (of 42 slides) to entice you







Gotta hand it to editor Luke Ray and his photography... awesome magazine with a superb layout
http://www.fuelzine.com/the-fuel-tank/beta-issue is the beta test and it's a flip style page turner like Flikr, you just look for the arrow on the right hand side in the middle of your screen

Car craft subscription prices, can vary drastically in the same issue. Isn't anyone there looking at their magazine before they send it?


pretty obvious isn't it?

Newest recommended magazine, Las Vegas coverage primarily, but excellant! "Sunday Slacker"

As the publisher/editor wrote in the 1 year anniversary issue "this is for all those that enjoy the smell of an old car, gasoline and burnouts."

Sunday Slacker Magazine is the place to find out what's happening in car culture in the southwest and Las Vegas. Cruise through our pages for events, car shows, car clubs, custom builders, shops, artists and the influential leaders who have built our lifestyle from the ground up. Featuring antiques, classics, hot rods, customs, motorcycles, imports, lowriders, trucks, muscle cars, racing, motorsports and much more. Each edition covers the culture behind the cars including clothing, painters, artists, models, tattoos and music.


You can pick them up all over Las Vegas, or subscribe http://www.sundayslacker.com/ they are $5 apiece
The website isn't more than 3 or 4 full screen images, nothing linked or paged, just a subscription form... but it's a sound foundation for an events page, car clubs gallery, and contact page. Which, is editor or subscribe or events @sundayslacker.com or check it out at facebook, myspace, flicker or twitter

Another late 1960's fashion clothing advertised with a sports, muscle, or race car... what was in the water among the magazine editors?

Signature magazine, October 1968 via: http://burstsausages.com/
This sort of car and clothes fashion thing amuses me, for the others I found:
the 1968 fashion magazine photo shoot with the Dodge line up for 1969: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/02/blog-post_24.html and a one page Dodge Dart ad http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/picture-is-worth-thousand-words-except.html http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/06/im-impressed-and-amazed-by-obscurity-of.html

I'm impressed and amazed by the obscurity of 1967 fashion photoshoot at the Irwindale Raceway, with drag racer Danny Ongais, driver for MT & Leong






So you too must be wondering, who in the hell thought dragsters and womens fashion couture had anything in common? It was Vogue magazine, April 1967 issue

The "Drag T" unchanged since 1959, and the aged look is looking cool! The May 2010 "Hot Rod Delux" cover car too, incidentally

Above, very vintage 1950's color photography, sadly, some colors and areas in it aren't doing too well

Having the magazine that features your car on the cover, on your front seat, so the background "image" of the front seat leather matches the front seat leather... very cool
showing the time and drying out of decades

In a matter of months, these 3 subscription cards were all in Hot Rod... look at the drastic differences in price, how can they all be half price?


Notice please, they all have the same "offer expires June 30, 1981"
What is that about?

Motor Trend Classic will be back in press! About effing time!

http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/content_display/news/magazines-newspapers/e3i3bf2d3f4053dfeb2e0011e2788571a8d talks about it.

I had a subscription to this and loved it, I still have my copies. They killed the magazine without telling any of us subscribers, and that still pisses me off. No one bothered to contact us to offer a substitute or arrange for our satisfaction of how Motor Trend's owners would repay us our subscription money. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/15/rip-motor-trend-classic-cancelled/ talks about it's demise in 2007

They don't seem to be wide open to renewing subscriptions, as the wording they use is "Limited number" of subscriptions, so maybe that is their way of pressuring interested people to nailing down your money so they can finance this idea.

Order yours, if it's as good as the previous iteration, it's worth it. It won't be monthly, it's now going to be quarterly, like Rodders Journal. It starts with the Spring 2010 issue. Order from this website https://www.circsource.com/store/Subscribe.html?offerId=3896 I just did.

here's my post about the dork's who kileed off the monthly in Feb 2007

Did the art director nail the composition, or what? Outta' the park!



I ordered mine, hell yes! Gotta own this and display it, if it were poster size (the top photo) I'd effing frame it. Wait, that is brilliant! Everybody like me who has to have a poster size copy, hang on, I'm gonna see if I can talk them into it!

A variety of cool cars and stuff at the Grand National Roadster Show




It's probably never going to happen again that 2 Kaiser Darrin cars are sitting side by side. Probably hasn't happened since the last Darrin left the dealership lot.
