Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Hot Rods and Custom Cars of the Sacramento Delta

ANTIOCH, Calif. - March 22, 2019 - PRLog -- Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Hot Rods and Custom Cars of the Sacramento Delta

Local author John V. Callahan will be available to sign copies of book

The Sacramento Delta has produced some of the finest hot rods and custom cars ever made. The passion of the area's builders is evident in the incredible cars they created, which drew nationwide attention.

Harry Westerguard, who taught George Barris bodywork, worked on the second "America's Most Beautiful Roadster"—--a 1923 "T" that was a style-setter for its day. Bob Dron built his first custom when he was only fifteen and a half, and Lenny Byer created his own "Candy Apple Red" in Rio Vista. Detroit might have had its vision, but the Delta region built its own.

Discover the stories behind the cars and their builders as author John V. Callahan takes us on a trip down memory lane.
