    The Lukens and Shinholster Fiat 500 "Topolino" done to the nines as a dragster. HRM February 1977

    1977 started out with the arrival of the Trans Am, subtly advertised in "Smokey and the Bandit" For those looking to build this icon, an article in HRM January 1977 covered it well with lots of photos.

    And finally, to round out the bicentennial, the Dave Crook '70 Firebird (the name and year are listed incorrectly in the article). HRM August 1976 A bit of googling later, and you discover that, WOW - - - this was one fly ride! And it turns out, the car was penned by none other than the same Harry Bradley who was doing design drawings for HRM.

    Richard, you are too funny! You're right, The Italdesign influence is all over the Impala! As for the topics you present, I have been encouraging anyone so inclined to upload such information to this thread and make this more of a community effort. My primary reason for this very time consuming effort has been precisely because there is so much in Hot Rod Magazine useful for our hobby, but with roughly 75,000 pages available and no index anywhere, the only other way to get the information out is by posting it. Thanks much for your input.

    Doggone it. That came out so sweet, now I gotta run out to Hobby Lobby and grab one while they're still 40% off!

    AMC dragster called "Gremlin Express"

    And from HRM December 1975 comes some Kenny Youngblood drawings - this time of fantasy vans

    Okay, so it's a little weird - but am I the only one who thinks a VW bug kinda' makes a cool little rod? HRM November 1975
  15. ea0863
    For the 70's custom van crowd, HRM November 1975 was chocked full of tricked out "shaggin' wagons".

    Great article on an Anglia racer. (BTW; HRM did a whole series of an Anglia build they did in various issues 1974 through 1975)

    I noticed a small photo in a Motorama ad from HRM July 1975 that caught my eye. An online search yielded three things about this vehicle: 1) There have been a lot of cars named "Invader" 2) This one was in my opinion the most beautiful! Check out https://speedrevolutions.com/throwback/invader-show-rods-of-the-1960s/ for many more photos and background on this show car. And 3) There was at least one model made of it, albeit I'm sure very rare...

    Revellution. HRM July 1975

    HRM July 1975 had a beautiful '69 Chevelle on the cover, with an article on how it was built. Someday, when my skills with the airbrush have progressed enough, I will build this in scale and retire a happy modeler!

    A very kool cop car/ hot rod from HRM April 1975. For those inclined to build something like this OOB, MPC made a similar model called "Smokey - The Convoy Chaser" which looks to be quite fun, although I have no idea of its quality.

    Not that the Petty #43 car was ever very popular , but for those few who want to build one, HRM April 1975 had a good article on the various iterations of the car - including a build-up on their Charger shown on the cover.
  22. ea0863
    Seeing this ad in HRM February 1975 made me wonder; has anyone ever built Bonnie and Clyde's car - complete with bullet holes? That would be a fun build!

    Here is a sweet Ford Mustang II Pro-Stock known as "Super Fly". HRM January 1975
  24. ea0863
    January 1975 did an article on the VW Rabbit (aka Golf) and Scirocco coming to US shores. Being a fan of designer Giorgetto Giugiaro (founder of Italdesign), I have always loved the wedge shapes and formal lines he introduced to cars - which became the norm for pretty much the entire 80's. I have built the AMT Scirocco and can attest to it being a very nice build (even if the engine is not quite right )

    How is this for a centerfold?; Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen's US Navy Duster Funny Car. HRM December 1974
