Long description
Ace Photographer David Perry is world-renowned for his photographs of Hot Rods and girls - and this is the long-awaited second book, where the two come together! An all-new collection, with stunning images, collecting Hot Rod cars and girls together in an unmissable visual feast for any connoisseur. In the garage, on the road, the beach, salt flats, racetrack, these sumptuous pictures by the acknowledged master of Hot Rod pin-up photography recall classic illustrators like Vargas and Elvgren. But the beauties in Perry's photographs have been transported to - and transported by, it seems in some cases - the cluttered chop shops, deafening drag strips, dusty highways that Hot Rods call home. Sharing top billing are the cars of many of today's top builders, plus painstaking wardrobes and settings. Essays by the stars of the Hot Rod world round out this pulse-pounding book, a visual feast for any car aficionado.
Review

Dude, no, check out that Bethany! Or how about Riika? And that Vanessa, man! She's smoking! Yeah, man! That's how it went, for hours. Pages were turned, paper torn, drool buckets filled up.
