Produced in cooperation with HOT ROD magazine, HOT ROD Mavericks takes you on a rollicking look back on more than a century of trailblazers, risk-takers, hell-raisers, and forward-thinkers.

No aspect of automobile culture embodies the DIY spirit like hot rodding. From prewar pressed steel and milled four-bangers to modern machined billet and 800-hp behemoths, the story of hot rodding has been the story of can-do iconoclasts who did for themselves what Detroit wouldn't do for them. Longtime hot rod and custom car historian Tony Thacker crafts an illustrated history that leaves no camshaft unturned.

Just some of the 50-plus movers and shakers profiled are:

  • Pioneers of the speed equipment industry like Barney Navarro, Ed Isky Iskendarian, and Vic Edelbrock
  • Postwar racers and builders Alex Xydias, Mickey Thompson, and Ak Miller
  • Quarter-mile dragstrip heroes such as TV Tommy Ivo, Big Daddy Don Garlits, and Shirley Cha-Cha Muldowney
  • Kustom kulture icons Dean Jeffries, Ed Big Daddy Roth, Von Dutch, Sam and George Barris, and Gene Winfield
