Motor Trend Magazines are great time capsules capturing the automotive trends/auto racing/new cars/musclecars of the era.

Bound volumes of Motor Trend Magazine are rare and the George Barris connection make this set aone-of-a-kind auto collectible.

Selecting a maximum of 24 photos was a challenge as there are so many great covers and features in these 256 issues; autoracing event coverage, custom cars, car culture and auto personalities, interviews, great speed equipment ads, great new car and new musclecar ads, new car introductions, automotive tech, and musclecar and new car features and performance tests.
The majority of new, 1949-1970, American cars and many import cars weretested and featured in Motor Trend within these 22 years and 256 issues.
Clean, original, complete hardbound magazine set of 22 volumes. Magazines are very good to like new condition; bound volumes vary from very good to like new. A few of the early 1950s issues have small handwritten words on the cover; see Motor Trend January 1954 as an example. See photos. Satisfaction guaranteed.
