Step back into the golden era of post-war hot rodding with the iconic "Speed and Power Handbook: Specialized Motor Tuning" by Newhouse Automotive Industries. Originally published in 1949, this sought-after vintage softcover manual serves as an authentic guide to classic California speed tuning, high-speed conversions, roadster and race car building, and custom automobile styling.

Packed with original technical diagrams, construction formulas, and hop-up secrets—covering dual manifolds, superchargers, hi-compression heads, and racing cams—this rare piece of automobilia is an essential addition for hot rod builders, vintage race car restorers, and collectors of mid-century automotive literature.
