When There was Car in Cartoons
Saturday, January 26th, 2008Friend of mine manages a used bookstore and some neat stuff crosses the threshold once in a while–for sci-fi fans, he’s got an original Weird Tales with an H.P. Lovecraft story in it—waaaaay cool.
What he isn’t into, lucky for this scribbler, is cars. When a couple ’60s-era rod cartoon mags walked in the door, he bought me a few issues.
How sweet is this old stuff, from the days when Big Daddy Roth’s work made covers and page spreads all over the newsstand.
He even picked up this old Harley Davidson accessories catalog from ‘69.
No long-haired tattooed specimens here–which ’60s is this?

Great article, Dave. Thanks for the link.
Back in those days, before publishing conglomerates bought up all the magazines, pared down the information, and pumped up the ads, sitting down to a car mag was a special treat.
Oops. Dave G had posted a link to an article on Millar, which got deleted in a spam cleansing. Here, again, is that link:
