mrknowetall Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 This thread (topic) might not work for the whippersnapper members, but I'm gonna bet there are many MCM members that remember, or own the classic "little page" magazines. So, I'll start. At some point, I'll show you the current little page magazines, although there aren't that many. If you have some, show 'em!

cobraman Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Had some but they have been gone a long time, a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrknowetall Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 The ones I have are pretty raggedy, and the images I've posted have been enhanced a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpier Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I think there's a local drag racing "little pages" currently being printed from central Connecticut and covering the traditional new England scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I vividly remember that issue of Car Model Magazine . . . the How-To article by Dave Shuklis showing his method of building a working convertible top out of brass strips, pins, and thin linen for that '50 Ford ragtop . . . well, it just knocked me out!! I tried for months to build one, using Dave's articles, plans, and photos, but never could pull it off. I marvelled at his genius and his prowess. Then years later I learned the extent of the physical disabilities he overcame every time he crafted another world-class cover model. I'll always revere his talent and sheer determination! What a modeling role model he was. It was the "little pages" that brought him and other early stars into the lives of so many of us budding modelers.

Ramfins59 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yeah I have that issue of Car Model magazine too. I always wanted to try to make that working convertible top mechanism too but never attempted it. I saw the one that Bill Geary made, but I believe he said that he couldn't find material for the top that would fold properly in scale.

High octane Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I have about three of those mags somewhere. I do remember getting caught in class with those mags inside my open textbook though on a few occasions. Maybe that's why my teacher signed my yearbook, to "Nick the Rod?"

mrknowetall Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 One more prehistoric Car Model magazine. I have more, but I need to find them. R&C features the iconic Dream Truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I remember those clearly even today! Used to sneak them into the house as a kid, sneaked them into textbooks and notebooks in Jr High and High School! Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 What do you mean by Little Pages? Were these about the size of Reader's Digest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayghost Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 What do you mean by Little Pages? Were these about the size of Reader's Digest? I second that. Just what are they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja-view Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 A little bigger than Reader's Digest. I have a stack of different ones from the 1950's, and I'd bet they are 1/2 size of regular magazines (or a little more) so they could use 1/2 the paper.

oldcars Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 What do you mean by Little Pages? Were these about the size of Reader's Digest? Think of a regular car mag. as a laptop and the little pages as the ipad of the day. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin T Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) I found this one in the bottom of a "throw-away-pile" of books a guy had at a club meeting about a year ago. It talks a lot about Dave Shuklis in there, man he was an amazing builder. Anyone know what happened to his builds?

Sweet, If I even go to Salt Lake City, UT I will check that place out. Be pretty cool to go to GSL and the museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Sadly this was the last issue, as I just received an email from Angela Schoof from The editors of Rod & Custom : Greg, We did not publish a Little Pages issue this year, and we do not have another one planned at this time.
