As an avid reader, I'm hoping others out there can offer some suggestions about good books to read, about showrods.
I'm hoping to see enough info that I can go onto some place like Amazon, and pick up a used copy of that book at some point: so an accurate title would be good; with ISBN numbers if possible. The author's name would also be a good thing to see listed.
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing things like Kustoms, either -- so any book about show-related cars would be a "possible".
The more info about what's in a book, would be good too -- but some of that's already listed in a book's description on Amazon; so I'm thinking "why I like this book" would be very helpful.
Thanks, all!

Two and a half weeks since I first asked about showrod-related books ... and no answers? Come on, guys (and gals) ... there has to be SOMETHING out there in print, that's good.

There doesn't seem to be many on that subject. Most of the books are about custom hot rods.
Here are a couple about Ed Roth:
Hot Rods by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth
Ed "Big Daddy" Roth: His Life, Times, Cars, and Art by Pat Ganahl
More:
American Custom Car By Pat Ganahl
Hot Rods & Customs of the 1960's By Andy Southard
Kustom Kemps Of America Commemorative Book By Kustom Kemps of America
The Big Book of Barris By George Barris, David Fetherston
I hope this helps.
Dave

I apologize, I was going to take this picture and post it, but I forgot. There are also magazines like Popular Hot Rodding, Car Craft, Custom Rodder, etc... that all had articles on the cars from the 60's when they were new. Marty Marysville, OH

Not really a book, but I publish Kustom and Hot Rod Models Magazine (printed in full color or digital) koolkat.magcloud.com8 issues so far. Mostly kustoms and hot rods, with an occasional show rod. Several CC members have been featured in it.
