Customs Bob Crespo 40 ford

I'm pretty sure that in 1962 (?) this car was featured in an issue of HOT ROD MAGAZINE. I know it was in Hot Rod, because that was the only magazine my dad subscribed to. I was about 11 yrs. old at the time. I wore that issue out looking at that car so many times. I thought that it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen.

I remember that some of the color pictures that appear in these various Crespo '40 photo collections, are from that HOT ROD feature.

Does anybody know for sure what issue of HOT ROD (year & month) that this car was featured in?

Thanks fellers.

 

Any progress photos??

 

Wow, awesome find. Can't believe I missed this last year. I had that picture from Hot Rod stapled on my bedroom wall and spent a lot of time staring at it, studying the details. Hope you get it out and about soon-ish.

 

Wow! Are you going to put it back to the way it appeared in Hot Rod?
