Product Spotlight – Gentleman Joe Schubeck: A Living Legend Tells His Story in Hot Rods, Trains, & Planes

Spotlighter

SPLIT-LINER

Ronnie Staples has been enjoying custom cars for more than five decades, which not only dates him but also makes him somewhat of a well-versed enthusiast who knows what he wants in a modern super rod.

KING OF THE ROAD

“Carroll Shelby has pulled the trick of the year. He’s combined Ford’s new drag champion 428 Cobra Jet engine with his complete road car, the Cobra G.T.500. Result?

Remembering a Legend

Whatever your preference in cars, Boyd Coddington took them to new heights through his exceptional ability to unite highly creative forces in a common effort, from the design stage to show-winning results.

Into the Blue

There are a lot of reasons why people choose to build and drive the cars they do. Most of the time, it is because a particular car was one that they wanted or liked when they were young, and such is the case with Allen Bernd and this ’62 Chevy

Red, White, and Chrome: Dayton’s Strawberry Festival Cruise-In Drives Home the Spirit of Community

On Friday, May 9, the streets of downtown Dayton filled with the rumble of engines, the shine of polished chrome, and the unmistakable buzz of community. As part of the 78th Annual Tennessee Strawberry Festival, the Cruise-In Car Show once again proved to be more than a car show —

RODS ON THE RIVER

A look back at the 2006 Strawberry Festival in Dayton, Tennessee, where The Auto Builder hosted the first Rods on the River car show, drawing crowds, classic cars, and community spirit.

SUPERBIRD

When we look back over the past decades and all the cars that have benefited from the creative mastery of super rodding, we should consider ourselves lucky. After all, just about every car we’ve ever dreamed about has found new life through the vision of today’s enthusiastic owners and builders.
