Description: What do you get when you mash up hot rods and monsters? In 1980, the answer would have been Weird Wheels trading card stickers. Featuring a checklist of colorful creations along the lines of the late '60s Odd Rods cards, the set blends Kustom Kulture with matinée horror. The cards themselves have monsters and other creatures driving absurdly customized cars, trucks, and motorcycles. As cool as the cards looked, they came out at a time when the Kustom Kulture was well past its peak, and the set flopped, but that doesn't mean they're still not cool! This one features the reaper from the outer packaging tearing it up in his '37 DeLuxe Cabriolet.

Description: Johnny's Speed & Chrome got their start in Buena Park, California as a traditional speed shop selling all kinds of go fast parts and dress up goodies for street racing enthusiasts. From hot rods to muscle cars, Johnny's had it all, including used parts, some of which were still warm when placed on the shelf. Towards the late '70s and throughout the '80s, they changed their focus to air cooled imports and dune buggies, giving Johnny's Speed & Chrome it's second wind. While the quality of their chrome earned them the nickname 'Johnny's Flake & Peel' locally, Johnny's was a southern California institution that still holds a special place in the hearts of many old school enthusiasts.

Description: Monster drag racing art emerged from the Kustom Kulture movement of the 1960s, fueled by Southern California's booming hot rod scene and a healthy dose of rebellious humor. Featuring wild-eyed, drooling monsters behind the wheels of impossibly exaggerated dragsters, the artwork became an iconic expression of automotive counterculture. These outrageous characters celebrated speed, creativity, and a refusal to fit in, making them instant favorites among young gearheads. Parents often saw them as strange, crude, or downright bizarre—which only added to their appeal. Decades later, monster drag art remains a beloved symbol of hot rod culture's playful, anti-establishment spirit. Stay weird!

Description: Red Devil Racing Fuels were formulated in Los Angeles, exclusively with gasoline product out of the El Segundo Refinery from genuine California crude. With advertising that played on variations of 'hotter than hell,' their smoking devil was a common sight around the west coast drag strips, both on fuel drums and decals on drag racers. While others made various octanes, Red Devil only made their 110 high test which was known to be a good 5 octane higher than stated, something that would come back to bite them a few years down the road.
Description: Established in 1953, Car Craft was a magazine devoted to automobiles, hot rodding, and drag racing. The earliest motto of Car Craft was 'Loud, Fast, Real,' which emphasized its more budget-oriented approach to building performance cars. When compared to similar magazines, Car Craft regularly featured vehicles built on a real-world budget, with an emphasis on functionality over style. The magazine published articles directed at inexperienced and seasoned wrench turners alike, and was a popular read for anyone wanting to improve the performance of their muscle car, hot rod, or drag racer. After 67 years of monthly issues, Car Craft ceased publishing in 2020, ending an amazing run of one of the best car magazines of all time.
