Default Vintage roadscene

Steve has written a two-parter for VINTAGE ROADSCENE magazine, possibly in issues 121 and 122. I contributed in a small way to the book, but am not reviewing it as I am biased!

Welll done Steve for self-publishing!

Default Chris Hodge Commercials

The front cover shot and another, taken in the latter case in 1948 I think, were from the Chris Hodge Trucks collection of former COMMERCIAL MOTOR photos.

Regrettably I could not send him any Pearsons of Liverpool Matador photos but he had enough in the end.
