Hot Rod Model Kits

by Terry Jessee

Being a man of a certain age, this book offers me a sweet and deep sweep of nostalgia; and I won’t be the only one out there.

by David Perry & Barry Gifford

by Harold Livingston

The last paragraph of the book is nearly wistful—that of a man looking back over an exciting and distinguished career. There seems to be a smile on his face.
