Hot Rod Magazine

Years back, a cousin was working as a “magazine peddler” to stores. I remember him saying that Peterson Publishing was the grim reaper for non-GM car mags. Once Peterson acquired them, they tilted GM, usually Chevy. Some Ford, damn little Mopar.

And if the acquisition was a Mopar Mag, it would get thinner, less tech (unless it was a new car), and more high end engine builds that were just dyno queens to sell advertisers products - all the ultimate kiss of death. The Mopar mag would be cancelled.
