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.
That sounds like what happened to Mopar Muscle. For the last several years before biting the dust, it seemed like their tech articles consisted taking pictures of advertisers aftermarket products being installed in some garage of the day. That and bodywork. :realcrazy:
