Hot Rod Pin-ups
|
| |
Author: David Perry
Foreword: Robt. Williams
Reviews:
"Edgy, but tastefully fun photographs of 1950s-style pin-up hip kittens and cool, down-and-dirty hot rods. Artistically shot, well-presented stuff. And, you'll like the cars, too." - Motor Trend
About the book:
For as long as young men have been channeling, chopping, and hopping up rods and customs, women - whether loyal girlfriends or trouble-seeking "bad girls" - have been an integral to their scene. In this unique portfolio evoking great 1950s pin-up artists like Vargas and Elvgren, talented photographer David Perry depicts models in and out of cherry-picked rods and customs wearing painstakingly chosen period dress and hairstyles. More than 100 photos present these modern-day pin-ups under three themes: Garage, Cruising, and Race. In addition, essays explore each topic and are also accompanied by pulp novel covers, period mags, and ads that place the photography in a historical context. Captions identify the car owners, photo location, and, where appropriate, interesting car specs and histories.
