Synopsis
There was time - not long ago - when cars were much more than transportation. Part function, part fashion, part id, cars were the largest thing you could wear. Every American teenager dreamed of having their own car because it promised joy, freedom and self-expression. During this era, Bob Larivee was the undisputed ringmaster of the greatest show on Earth - the indoor hot rod and custom car show. Driven by pure enthusiasm, and possessing a natural gift of knowing what would draw people, Larivee built an empire that showcased style, color, chrome, horsepower, pop culture and fantasy. His Promotions, Inc. (PI) produced events for decades that helped define American car passion while fueling the dreams of millions around the world. Hot Rod Dreams - Car Shows and Culture celebrates the people and stories of this not-so-long-ago - and still evolving - world. From the earliest days of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth through the golden era of car-crazy TV, Hot Rod Dreams celebrates what it was really like to buy an "Outlaw", employ Playboy Playmates, and make sure Dale Earnhardt got home in time for dinner - while also exploring how popular culture inspires our concepts of personal identity.

    I ordered this book knowing it was old and had some wear and tear… When I received it, it looked like it had a lot more damage than the post showed and I was very disappointed. I reached out to the seller and she immediately responded and gave me a full refund ~ no questions asked. I call that GREAT customer service so this is a positive. Because of her actions I would definitely buy from her again and also recommend her site :)

    The Shine!

    I went to car shows. When I read Bob's book, I realized where they went. It was good to See Ed "Big Daddy" Roth at his best. It is hard for him to disappear, "Biggy Rat."

    A photo treasury

    Great book for the early 60's hot rod and custom car lover, particularly for the never before seen period photos.
