So-Cal founder Alex Zydias is a pioneer figure in American speed culture and at last his story...has been written --Classic & Sports Cars

...a remarkable book that could be a screenplay for an amazing Hollywood film...The book is lavishly illustrated with spectacular large-scale format colour and black-and-white photos with breathtaking detail. many of the 50-yaer-old photos look like they were taken yesterday. Beautifull Rex Burnett cutaway drawings add to the book's impact. --SpeedTV.com

Reseña del editor:

The ability of U.S. car enthusiasts to satisfy their need for speed changed dramatically in the late 1940s as car-crazy veterans returned home from World War II with formal mechanical training, courtesy of Uncle Sam. This is the story of how one such veteran, an ex-B-17 airman named Alex Xydias, established the SO-CAL Speed Shop and helped transform hot rodding from a scruffy, underground, outlaw sport into a defining part of postwar American culture.
