Shortly after R&C celebrated its 50th birthday last year, we started asking our older readers to send us photos of the hot rods and customs they had owned when they were young. That idea evolved into the "Yesterday's Young Guns" feature which is now a regular part of the Roddin' Around department.
The response has been so great that we now have enough photos to treat you to a big bunch of these vintage pics of readers and their rides. Some of these cars are still on the road. Some of them have been missing in action for decades. Every single one of them represents its era and provides a look at what young hot rodders were building way back when. Hope you enjoy them.
If you've got photos of you and your hot rod from the old days, mail them, along with a brief story, to: Yesterday's Young Guns, ROD & CUSTOM, 2400 E. Katella Ave., Anaheim, CA 92806, or E-mail them to timothy.bernsau@primedia.com. Include your address and phone number. Please identify the year of the photo and the names of the people pictured if possible. Digital images must be jpegs, 300 dpi at 5 inches wide. No photocopies, computer printouts, or clippings please.
