Bobby Green’s ’31 Ford roadster featured in the September 2008 issue of HOT ROD Deluxe. On sale July 15.

We’ve got another issue of HOT ROD Deluxe coming out July 15th, and we have to say that Genevieve Chappell only makes Bobby Green’s ’31 roadster better.

In addition to the Halibrand shod roadster hailing from beautiful downtown Burbank, contributor Dick Martin relays the story of Art Male, one of the original S.C.T.A. members who had the forethought to photographically document the beginnings of dry lake racing.

Contributor Brad Ocock provided the feature on the wicked phone booth T, and Steve Magnante follows suit and introduces us to the straight axle Gasser of Paul Soliz and the El Monte Air Force.

The latest issue has plenty of tech, including the build-up chronicled by Magnante of a S.Co.T.-blown Flathead, thanks to the efforts of Mike Herman.

The issue is on sale July 15, 2008, so go and camp out at your favorite newsstand and be the first on the block to get your copy. Give us your feedback on the new issue by responding to this blog or e-mail us at hotroddeluxe@hotrod.com.
