moparbenny Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I grew up reading my dad's old car mags, his collection dates back to the 1950's. but one of my favorites is the Old Car Illustrated , mainly because it's and Old Car mag....It covered street rod events and Classic restored cars as well....I don't see a lot of that in magazines today, you either got to pay to get one style or another, Hemmings motor news come close but it's not always the same...I would like to see a magazine that's just geared more for Old Car people like me, that like old cars...whether there stock or modified ....does anybody else remember Old Car Illustrated?

Normspeed Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Looks like it was a good one. Modern magazines really have specialized for sure. It's fun to read through the old ones. In its own way, Hot Rod magazine has been trying hard to include a wide variety of cars, rods and customs from low buck, to high buck, plus barn finds, new accessories, and brand new factory stuff, like the Hurst series Challenger. No restoration cars though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm's Coupe Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Goodguys and the NSRA both cover originals as well as street rods and customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm's Coupe Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 The last Cars and Parts I saw was still covering original cars. That was from about the April or May issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I used to get that Old Cars Illustrated. Hemmings Classic Car covers a mixture of older and newer, but not so much rods and kustoms. Cars and parts is similar in content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
