CRUZIN MAGAZINE #288

So when did four-doors become boring? Yes, coupes are cool, but sedans are the fabric of Aussie hot rodding, as blokes combine their need for speed with the need to haul the family to car shows and rod runs! Tony and Jane Horne are old hands in the hot rodding scene and are flying the flag for finely finished four-door Fords with the 429-powered ’33 featured on the cover of this issue.

Speaking of finely finished, few can resist the attraction of the 1957 Chevy Nomad, and John McCoy-Lancaster’s pristine example is a step up from a resto, with plenty of hidden surprises. We also check out a big-block, big-rubber’d Willys coupe, a super-fun Model A tub with an eighties vibe, and a far-out Chevy van from California.

This year’s Hot Rod & Custom Auto Expo in Sydney was another killer weekend, and we bring you a slice of the action. We also go on the road with the Top of the State Rod & Custom Club in Cairns and give you some insight into electric wiper conversions with a how-to on a classic Chevy pickup.

All of our favourite columns are back – Cruzin the Salt, Cruzin New Zealand, Motorvatin’ Music, and of course, Model Citizens, which this month includes a nice tribute to a hot rod that never quite was.
