Custom Cars of the 1950s by Andy Southard, Tony Thacker (1993, Paperback)

This book exceeds all expectations. The photos in custom cars from the 50's take you back to the time of great indoor car shows from coast to coast. The crappy "Goodguys" type shows of today don't even come close. The quality of photography and custom cars in this book is unparalleled. Luckily, for the fortunate ones who own this, and his other books, he religiously took pictures of every custom car and hot rod he ever saw and was able to put the best of the best into a series of books for us to enjoy. He even remembers the complete history and owners of most of the cars and shares their names and stories with us. You will not be disappointed.
