  1. Great article debuting "Cadzilla". Seeing the before and after shot is amazing! HRM July 1989 I can't believe the major manufacturers never made a scale model of Cadzilla. Am I wrong, because all I can find are resin bodies here and there? For those okay with just buying a diecast, the Hot Wheels Legends series did make an awesome version of this car in 1:24 and 1:64 scale.
  2. '69 Camaro pro-stock racer. Tuxedo black and chrome gorgeousness! HRM June 1989
  3. '58 Fury "Christine" shoebox. Now THAT'S scary!
  4. "Folsom Flash" '55 Chevy studly shoebox. HRM May 1989
  5. Winners of the 3rd Annual Hot Rod Magazine National Model Car Contest. HRM March 1989
  6. Great information to have. I'm going to look for the T-bird for sure. And that J-2000 was obviously rather famous, as I keep seeing it pop up from issue to issue.
  7. "Too Bad T-Bird" Pro Street in all its twin supercharged glory. HRM November 1988
  8. The second Testarossa was regarding the Miami Vice white car. Lore had it that Ferrari sued the show over its use of a Coachcraft 365GTS clone. As part of settling the suit, Miami Vice got rid of the black car (in a momentous explosion no less), and it was replaced by two black Testarossas given by Ferrari to the show. These cars were repainted white because Michael Mann thought the color showed up better on screen. What I didn't know is what this article in HRM had to say about a third car that was made for the stuntwork: Thus, for any Miami Vice hound (such as myself), it will be necessary for me to kit blend this "stunt car" together
  9. HRM August 1988 had not one, but two blurbs related to the Ferrari Testarossa. First up was a custom called the "Brillante" that was a C4 Corvette underneath. Interestingly, although the proportions were nothing like the Testarossa, the overall look of the car was pretty 80's glamorous! I might even try this one in plastic sometime.
  10. I totally respect your opinion, both about Tim Allen and about Miami Vice (and yes, I too have the boxed set )
  11. Next up is Miami Vice as a topic. Let's see how you felt about that show?
  12. HRM July 1988 excited me, not only because they were announcing the go-ahead for a 3rd annual Hot Rod National Model Car Contest, but also because they showed another view of the awesome Gary Fox '39 Chevy.
  13. It amazes me how cheap these cars were back then ($25k was about $63k today)
  14. HRM April 1988 was their second swimsuit issue, and one model therein looked kind of familiar to me... Anybody recognize her? How about now?... That's right! Debbe Dunning - otherwise known as Heidi the "Tool Time Girl" from Home Improvement! What car buff didn't love that show? Jill's '55 Nomad Tim's '33 Roadster (which actually belonged to Tim Allen) Tim's '46 Ford project with his eldest son (also belonged to Tim Allen) The race between Tim and his nemesis Bob Villa driving the Boyd Coddington Alumacoupe Jill's '67 Austin Healey Now I'm going to have to pull my dvd collection out of mothballs and watch the whole series all over again!
  15. 2nd Hot Rod National Model Car Contest results! My personal favorites were the Gary Fox '39 Chevy, Bill Taylor's aged '34 Chevy, and Randy Moyer's '63 Avanti racer. Anybody have any differing opinions?
  16. Two interpretations of what a "futuristic" hot rod might look like. Both very kool! HRM January 1988
  17. I wonder when it was they discovered the downside of belt-driven overhead cams where it came to interference motors!
  18. Hot Rod National Model Car Contest update. Great Ferrari Daytona racer!
  19. You've heard of "hemi under glass", well this was apparently "dragster under tarp" What a cool barn find! HRM October 1987
  20. Pro Street '67 Mercury Cougar. HRM September 1987
  21. Great '77 Chevy van. HRM September 1987 Apparently still alive and well with new rims and even lower attitude!
  22. Hot Rod National Model Car Contest additional information. HRM September 1987
  23. 2nd Hot Rod National Model Car Contest announced! HRM August 1987
  24. Hudson Terraplane Hot Rod; Art Deco meets Attitude! HRM July 1987
