In its sixty-plus years of existence, Hot Rod magazine has featured hundreds of cars on its cover. To those in the muscle car, street machine, and hot rodding hobby, having their car selected for the cover is the ultimate coup, a near unsurpassable bragging right. Often, the cover car is a landmark vehicle that sets new standards for years to come. Hot Rod Magazine All the Covers showcases each cover in full color, along with images of the cover car from select issues.

"... easy-to-reference tome. In recapping the covers he (Hardin) tells the story of the magazine itself. How it came to pass and, more importantly, how it evolved to address the times is really the book's strong suit. By way of interviews with editors both past and present, Hardin channels what's essentially the spirit of the magazine. This in turn gathers what are otherwise seemingly random photos to create a bigger picture - a hot rodder's quilt, if you will. This book is a charmer in all respects. It'll make you remember what mad you fall in love with the magazine in the first place." - Street Rodder

"Even if you own every issue ever printed, the book is still must-have material." - HOT ROD Magazine
