Default Looking for vintage Model A Hot Rod magazine annual

I've been looking for a copy of a soft cover magazine that I think was published by Hot Rod/Petersen. It was a fairly thick magazine of the "annual" type publication and I think it was from the early '70's or maybe even '60's. It had lots of pictures of stock A's as well as various hot rods from mild to radical. It was a very neat and informative publication that I must have worn out reading because it's gone.
Does anybody remember that? Anyone have one for sale?
Thanks Ned

Is this is what you are looking for? At one time I had 2 of them, not sure if I still have the other copy. If you can't find one may be we can work something out where I can scan it and put it on a DVD or flash drive. By the way, I think it is from the early 60s as this copy I got when I got my first Model A in 1963.

Frank , I have the same issue magazine as yours. Amazing the stuff we have kept over the years. I also have 5 more similar magazines ,some by Clymers, some Petersons ,4 have Model A rods and 1 is only stock A's . Ned, If there is a specific topic that you are interested and in ,I could check to see if it may be covered in the info that I have.

That's it! Thanks Don and Frank. I'm not looking for a specific article but rather the entire magazine, it was my all-time favorite and I had it for years but things got in the way (Vietnam, divorce, etc...) and it disappeared. Now that I know the correct title I'll see if maybe I can find it on Amazon or Ebay... unless Frank wants to sell one of his!
Many thanks guys, Ned

Found one at Mercari a website that I've never heard of. The site seems jammed because when I tried to order it couldn't seem to continue. I'll keep trying. Cost is $8.00 very reasonable.
Thanks again guys. I'm very happy to have found it. Ned

Is the magazine new enough to have an ISBN number?

Usually on back cover or in front couple of pages where Publication data is located..

ISBN would make finding one on internet easier!

I missed your last post about finding one...

I could not find an ISBN number. However I did find a copyright date, as I suspected it's 1963 by Petersen Publishing Company, 5959 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles 28, Calif.


I have seen them occasionally, here on the swap meet page and e-bay.
