Hot Rods and Rare Toth

One of the cool things about artists like Alex Toth is that you can stumble across their work in what might seem the unlikeliest of places. About ten years ago my son-in-law gave me a small stack of motoring cartoon magazines, and in a couple of them there were some real gems. Here are two short stories not just drawn but also written by Alex Toth. The first is from CARtoons 26 (December 1965), and is a nice example of the growing influence of the Women's Movement:

The next is a three page short about the trials and tribulations of a corporate executive in the automobile industry, from Hot Rod Cartoons 6 (Sept 1965):

Hope you enjoyed seeing these as much as I did.

BILL PITT'S "MAGICAR" TOP FUEL DRAGSTER

Your's truly, Drag Fink Jeff DeGrandis in the back ground of both of these screen grabs.

Get behind the wheel of the Magicar nostalgic top fuel dragster as it fires up!! Owned by my fellow Standard 1320 friend, Bill Pitts. Originally built in 1964 by renowned chassis builder, Kent Fuller. Soon later, the team became Ron and Dennis Winkel and Kaye Trapp. This footage was taken at this year's 2008 California Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield, California.

You can spot yours truly Drag Fink Jeff DeGrandis in the hat, with black shirt in the back ground, in the photos above. Have fun behind the wheel!!!!
