This beautiful 1932 Ford Sedan just screams “Hot Rod!” when you look at it and maybe that’s why its owner, Dave Lozano, wanted it so badly.

HOT CARS Magazine Description:

HOT CARS magazine is dedicated to all the car guys out there that enjoy all forms of motorsport. The magazine leans toward the Street Rod and Street Machine styles, but we cover a little bit of everything. We attend events up and down the West Coast bringing you pictures of some of the best cars California has to offer. One weekend we might be at a Goodguys show, and the next weekend at a sports car race. Although these two shows may be as different as night and day, they have one thing in common; great cars and great people. Our feature cars are just as unique. We have featured everything from a sling shot dragster, to a Chevelle “Hatchback”, to a “Rat Fink” style ’34 Ford! Our in house “Project Car” is just that, it’s being built right out in my garage! No “big-buck” project being built at a big name Hot Rod shop somewhere. Just a simple, low buck, nostalgia style, ’30 Ford Highboy Coupe that’s going to see a lot of miles when it’s completed . We’ve got some great regular features; “Auto Art” is dedicated to the great automotive artists out there, each issue an artist shares their work with our readers, “Web Search” is a fun look at some of the neat automotive web sites out there (we review them and give you the URL), “In-Scale” takes a look at the world of model car building with feature cars and kit reviews, and of course, a “Reader’s Rides” page where our readers send in picks of their Hot Rods!
