Grand National Roadster Show Magazine Cover Cars - Cars That Made A Difference

March 1999: Frank Currie's 205.680-mph '32 Ford highboy roadster used a blown big-block Ford, GMC transmission, and Currie rearend (what else?) to speed over the Salt Flats and then drive to Goodguys Pleasanton.

April 1986: Bob Kolmos built this '32 Ford phaeton for driving, and that's exactly what he's been doing with the tub since he built it back in the '80s.

August 1961: The Richard Munz-owned Neal East full-fendered '32 roadster formed the centerpiece for the Rod & Custom cover-the first of its "fullsize" issues.

September 2006: Rick Love was on hand with his copper-colored five-window '32 Ford highboy coupe that graced the R&C cover.

October 1975: Back in the '70s it was common for street rod magazines to have multicar covers. Current owner Chris Ito's fenderless '32 three-window (originally owned by Dick Rodwell) graced the cover.

November 1971: The original Pete & Jakes R&C cover showcased their coupes, leading to the famous cover blurb: "Are Coupes For Chickens?" Pete's flamer later ruled the roost, starring in the movie California Kid. Jerry Stover of Pete & Jakes Hot Rod Parts fame owns the cars today.
