    Pat is an amazing writer and I love his articles in TRJ. He really puts you in the time frame he speaks of,,,usually Socal. I will have to pick up a copy of the new book!

    Pat has been busy enough that I now have a section in my library just for his works. Keep 'em comin' .

    untitled.png [/ATTACH] Certainly a "must have" book. I see a few other new ***les, these days as well. Has anyone read "Hot Rodding in Ventura County" by Tony Baker, "Middletown Pacemakers" by Ron Roberson or "The Brotherhood of Speed" by Don Pennington/Albert Drake? They all look very interesting.

    The perfect birthday gift. I will show this thread to my wife tonight.
    I met Pat & his wife on a road trip some years ago, they were staying in the same Hotel as us in Flagstaff.

  17. I introduced myself to Pat at the 2012 L.A. Roadster show and thanked him for his work that I have read with eager enthusiasm since I was a kid. He is a man that I look up to. -H.R.D-

  20. I ordered my book online, but it hasn't arrived at home yet.

    To my surprise, the local Books-A-Million has copies. So I thumbed through the book and, no surprise, it's a great one! I can hardly wait to carefully read the whole thing.

    There were a couple of issues I'd like to tell Mr. Ganahl about, so he may update his information. Anybody know how to get in touch with him?

    Saw Pat @ Gene Scott's Antique Auto last week and over the weekend @ LARS. I was with Bill Burke's bro-in-law and he commented that some of the pix in the book were given to him by Bill when the both were @ Street Rodder. He let me know that he'd be at Auto-AeroBooks on 6/28 as stated above. Looks like its a must have.

    Just got mine off the rack at B&N and a little over 1/4 through it. Great pics [many rarely or never widely seen before] and background info. Sure to be a keeper and great reference source after I've finished looking at and reading it. Well worth the investment.

    My daughter gave me the first two "Lost" books for Christmas ( which are both excellent- great stories and even better pictures); I'll have to drop some subtle hints about this new one. Thanks, Mr Ryan! ( and thanks Pat Ganahl). Ho-Ho-Ho
     
  28. Just got Gallery 'one'. Wow. Ordered 'two', quick as a flash. What a great running mate to Dean Batchelor this book is. I'm sure 'two' will be great too.
