    Historic Hot Rod Club Revived! est. 1936, reborn 2007.

    That is a great book, I have it, really awesome source for post WWII photos and hot rods. Sadly it DOES NOT do justice to its name becuase in reality, it does NOT show nor tell much at all in the way of the "Birth" of hot rodding. I dont know why he titled it "The Birth Of Hot Rodding" to be...

    Scarf / neckwear options ...

    A knit scarf that wraps several times due to length sounds very vintage to me. I can remember seeing pics of this and guys in movies with this type of scarf,....of course its just me, but if i went for one I'd try to find one that looked like it came out of an old movie from the 40s,...that's...

    beard advice

    Just my personal opionion,...beards in the 1930s and 40s were not the norm,...now I'm not sure if you're into vintage living as much as I, but to be accurate,..I'd just shave the beard. I'm curious as to what look you're going for though,..(pics??) as I'm unfamiliar with it.

    the last time I went to sears for their "Robucks" brand shirts, etc. I was freaked out to find they no longer make "Robucks!!!" What is this world:eusa_doh: coming to!!! Now they carry "craftsman" clothing,..basically a bad rendition of carhartt.

    Historic Hot Rod Club Revived! est. 1936, reborn 2007.

    Actually, they were not simply modified from their original stock selves by any means! That was not the norm at all in the 1930s and 40s. Actual performance equipment was VERY prevalant in those time periods,....from the mid 1920s in fact. There were high performance overhead valve heads for...

    Well you see, the boys never "gave up" of course, it was just the nature of the beast in those times (post wwii) that many clubs simply merged,...this is what happened with several of the original fellows.
