Description:

The not-to-be-missed issue hits newsstands in time for the big SEMA Show event in Las Vegas, Nevada November 2-5. SEMA has been on hiatus since 2019 because of the pandemic. Drive! will be there this year to cover all the exciting new products and the next-level gear. Worthy of this awesome issue, the VANSLAM makes its debut. A Drive! Magazine exclusive, VANSLAM follows the transformation of a mild-mannered flower delivery Ford Econoline van into a pavement dragging, wildly painted gem with biscuit-tuck upholstered interior. A true custom wonder. We file a report from our man in the field, Fireball Tim, as he covers the Petersen Automotive Museum's hosting of Magnus Walker's appearance and book signing. We also get exclusive coverage of Peter Coronis' hot-rodding of a classic '70s Kenworth that was leaned out and modded into a crazy street rod with a blown fuel-injected supercharged 355 cu. in. engine. Our Drive! Magazine concludes its own car show in print with a fully-restored 1970 Chevy Chevelle that was resurrected from a rotted shell once owned by a Seattle fisherman. We also jam in coverage of the event that teamed up South OC Cars & Coffee and Cruisin' For A Cure for a one-day charity event in San Clemente. Incredible show. This one had supercars, classics, EVs, air-cooled, a vintage Shelby, and a wild Volvo resto-mod. Yup, you heard me right... Volvo. Fireball contributes another ColorMod Corner illustration for readers to color, and we go back in time to learn about the VW Type 1 and the amazing facts that surround the world's longest-running production vehicle with the highest volume produced of any car, ever. Top it all off with our Regional Automotive Events listings so you find one near you can get out there! Gearheads rejoice. We'll see you out there.
