Art & Inspiration 1956 Rod Builder

The better half wanted to take a few days and we went to New Hampshire for a few days to visit a friend and see a couple of sights. We saw the Shaker Village and took the cog railway up Mt. Washington. The last night we went to dinner in a local restaurant and had a great meal, as we were
leaving she noticed that they had a hallway with a display of old magazines, advertisements, etc
for sale. I looked quickly at the automotive ads, but saw nothing I wanted when she said look at this.
She pulled out a 1956 Rod Builder, I thought it was just the cover but she said no it was complete.
She even paid for it.

 

Sounds like you married right.

 

So now you can tell us what 'traditional' really means, right?

 

Nice find, Jet. I have two issues of Rod Builder & Customizer, pretty good Little books. One has an article that uses the needle nosed roadster as part of the heading.

 

I knew I was on the right track when our first date she asked me to a demolition derby.

 

Interesting the article on the cover about the most popular rod in the USA claimed that the 1939 ford had
surpassed the model A/ 32 Ford.
The article on the small block chevy said to overbore and stroke it to 306 inches, this in 1956.
