  • Promising News from Muscle Car Review

    The resurrected, again-monthly Muscle Car Review magazine will soon be inaugurating a new regular feature: Early Muscle. This from one of the magazine's contributors, the Tom Shaw pictured on Page 9 of the January 2008 Turning Wheels.

    I have been corresponding with Tom about several things of late, and we were talking about the dearth of coverage for muscle cars built before 1964...of which we know there are many, although they aren't normally called muscle cars.

    Tom said the publishers are aware of the growing interest in these historic cars, so they've come up with this new feature. Bring on The Golden Hawks! [] BP
    We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

    G. K. Chesterton: This triangle of truisms, of father, mother, and child, cannot be destroyed; it can only destroy those civilizations which disregard it.

        Good news indeed! Anyone who doesn't call a '55 Chrysler 300, a '56 Dodge D500, a '56 Plymouth Fury, a '57 DeSoto Adventurer, a '57 fuel-injected Chevrolet, a '58 Pontiac Bonneville tri-power and many other pre-64 cars is overlooking significant high performers.

            Bob,

            Do you remember the predecessor to Muscle Car Review Magazine?[?] If not, it was Popular & Performance Car Review Magazine. At that point it was from Dobbs Publications, Lakeland, Fla. but I'm not sure if they are still around. If you have your back issues stored safely away, you need to check out the January 1985 issue and while you're at it look at the September 1985 issue as well Hard to believe it's been that long ago, but I did the Avanti in 1978 and the "Super-Baker" (as they named it) in 1981. Time flies when you're havin' fun. See ya'll in Albany, GA in April for the 5th Annual Georgia State Meet.

                    Er, Gary; you do know the D500 was a passenger-car engine option, right? BP
                    We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

                        No, Dan; 'can't say that I have ever heard of Popular and Performance Car Review, but I have heard of Dobbs Publications.

                        Lakeland FL seems to be a hotbed of collector-car publishing, so they are probably all trading names and assignments around incestuously among various companies! [:0] [8D] BP
