History Early Hot Rod Magazine

One of the very early Hot Rod magizines had a picture of 4 guys in a tub taken at the lakes or Bonneville on the cover. Does anyone have a copy of that cover or know the date of the mag? I'm and old guy with a fading memory so it may have been a picture on the inside fold out but I really think it was on the cover back when they were black and white.

 

I don't have it but someone here might.

Just curious, are you or someone you know in the tub?
Any idea what year or month the mag was?

 

What's "early" ? Can you give us a little narrower time frame?

Screen shot. I love that my iPhone lets me swipe stuff that you're not supposed to.

 

From what I remember reading , that tub is still in the original owners family. The mans name escapes me at the moment. Neat car.

hmm... where is the guy from? tha car looks familiar.

 

Tom "Red" Hynes T touring. It was powered by a SOHC A banger. Later it was updated with the V8-60. Even though it was on the cover of March '50 it wasn't featured until July '50.

The original SOHC MILLER engine is in a collection in California. Bob

 

Bingo, Thats the one. I was 9 years old and thought that was the coolest car I ever saw. I once had all the early Hot Rod magazines but my grandmother found them and trashed them cause she thought the hot rodders were hoodlums and I should pursue other interests. Now I will keep looking for that issue. Thanks
