This is the January 1952 issue of Hop Up, Vol. 1, No. 6, a 15 cent hot rod and speed magazine with a yellow and black cover showing a motorcycle racer, the number 74 race car, and the 3P speedboat.

The pages are intact with some tanning, and the covers show creasing, edge wear, spine wear with small tears, and rounded corners, as the listing says.

Inside you get Barney Navarro's What is One Horsepower?, the Morrison's Roadster photo feature, a What d'you think? reader page, speedboat and drag race coverage, and period ads from Offenhauser, Weld, Huth Muffler Co., Mallory, and Bell Auto Parts, with a Newhouse Automotive Industries ad on the back cover. The cover line reads Yank Breaks European Speedboat Records, see page 18.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
