Magazines that no longer exist.

Have let subs to hot rod and CC and MCCG go by wayside. HR just sent me an offer $20 for 3 years, thinking about it. MCCG may re-up, stopped because of little tech after Frank Badalson articles stopped. Profiles of cars are fine but if that's all you got, bye.
 
I just found a sub to mopar muscle ( $77us ) for one year , not happening when you guys get it for $30
 
Yeah...Postage to OZ is a real kick to the dick, huh?
 
MoPerformance Magazine. Back in the late 80's or early 90's, my friend's girlfriend appeared on the cover, nicely dressed in white, with her '69 340 4 speed Cuda. It was an AMC Plum color. I think I supplied a piece of an old Duster roof to patch the quarter before it got painted. Good friends, really cool car. I hear it is still around here. I miss those days a bit.
I remember that car! And still have that issue in storage! Her name was Stacey, wasn't it?
 
SS&Drag Illustrated, hi-performance cars, popular hot rodding, car craft. Before there was such a thing as a "Mopar" mag.
 
Is Car Craft no longer in print ?
 
Anybody here old enough to remember when Car Craft and Rod & Custom were small magazines? As I remember they were about half the size to today's magazines.
 
Magazines were good for the imagination. Traveling, new ideas, building things, science, latest accomplishments in the world such as space travel, latest technologies, building minds.

The magazines of today don't seem to have all of these qualities anymore like these...

I have not found this one on the net. as being in print. Man when I look though these old crunchy rags, they are so black and white, but we/I were/was, in our/my glory.
Summer of '70 by the editors of CARS Magazine. The inside photos are so... common and the way it was done then, cutting edge technology of the day. In today's words...so old school. I kind a miss the old times.
Theses' rags are some what like History Books for the less fortunate.

In these next rags. One thing I wished is that more color photos would have been printed. While looking though them I see a greater percentage of Mopars in each one.

Missouri Mule, Preston Honea's Executioner, Charlie Allen's Atlantic Flyer, Don Schumacker's Stardust, Dick Landy, Studio Dodge, Hemi Under Glass, Wild Bill Shrewsberry's L.A. Dart, Al Vander Woude's The Flying Dutchman, Al Graeber's Tickle Me Pink. Sorry for the long list just to name a few. It's snowing here in South Central Pa., so I'm bored.

Interesting topic, and as much as I hate to say it, probably the focus of someone's Ph.D. research. Useful? Maybe because those who study it will learn about how technology, market niches, and human nature results in change we wouldn't have expected. If we knew long ago, we might have made millions. Kern Dog - you have a good eye. Seeing what survived and why will also be interesting.
