The holidays are always an exciting time, and this year is particularly big for us here at the The Rodder’s Journal. It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 25 years since we published our first issue. We introduced TRJ back in 1994 and 2019 marks our 25th anniversary. We’re proud to celebrate this milestone with you. We simply could not have made it here without your unparalleled support.

In this catalog you’ll find a collection of gifts carefully curated for hot rod and custom car enthusiasts of all ages. At the front, you’ll notice our 25th Anniversary collection, which features hats, T-shirts, jackets and other favorites emblazoned with our new roadster logo penned by acclaimed

artist Ed Tillrock. The design was inspired by Gus Maanum’s high-speed hot rod illustrations of yesteryear.

Elsewhere in the catalog, you’ll find a mix of new releases and time-honored classics. Whether you’re looking for books about barn finds or bomber jackets

perfect for roadster rides, you’ve come to the right place.

On behalf of the entire TRJ staff, we wish you, your family and friends a safe and warm holiday season.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF TRJ

Since our very first issue in 1994, we’ve worked to document, preserve and honor the rich history of our hobby in the pages of TRJ. As a nod

to that history, we enlisted artist Ed Tillrock (TRJ #79) to create a vintage waterslide decal-style 25th Anniversary graphic inspired by classic old hot

rod illustrations from more than half a century ago.

In the past 25 years, hot rodding has grown bigger than we could have ever imagined—and we’re lucky to have been there every step of the way. From baremetal photo shoots to cross-country adventures, we’ve spent the past quarter-century chronicling the best traditional hot rodding and customizing has to offer in the pages of The Rodder’s Journal.

To celebrate our silver anniversary, we’re showcasing 15 of our favorite feature cars ever to appear in the

magazine. With rods and customs, barn finds and racecars, we see this calendar as an oversized issue of TRJ that you can hang on your wall.

The calendars are printed on heavy stock, measure 23x15 inches and list popular car show dates throughout the year. Only 2,500 have been printed, so when they’re gone, they’re gone. And to make our 25th anniversary calendar collectable each one will be signed and numbered. Get yours today!

Lost Drag Strips II This book picks up right where the first volume left off. Lost Drag Strips II tells the stories of more tracks and more cars that have faded into obscurity through the years. The sequel also includes a wealth of period photos from the lost tracks as well as the resilient ones that have survived despite the rapidly changing world around them.

Keith Weesner is at it again, this time with a classic Deuce roadster design. Chopped, channeled and hoodless, Keith’s illustration captures the essence of ’50s hot rodding. We printed it on the back and small on the front left chest. It is availble on both black

and white 100% cotton T-shirts.

NEW WEESNER TEE

We’ve reissued our modern classic Lakester tee in a new navy-and-orange color scheme for 2018. With artwork by Jeffrey James, the illustration pays homage to racers from the past and present who fitted drop tanks with V8s in search of speed and glory on the dry lakes and salt flats.

Our Deuce Highboy tee has been an all-time favorite, and it’s now available in both black and white. Designed by Chris Piscitelli (TRJ #73), it features a ’32 Ford grille shell small on the front and the full car on the back.

DRY LAKES TEE | Part # MT (Tan) | Sizes S-XL: $20 . 2X-3X: $22

In honor of our 25th anniversary, we’ve decided to dust off some vintage Rodder’s Journal designs. This chopped ‘34 coupe at Muroc was owned by Eric Chaputa when we photographed it for our second-ever T-shirt design. The photo is printed large on the back and an early TRJ logo appears small on the front left chest.
