George Barris personal magazine collection-Hop Up Magazine, hardbound, 1953

Description: One bound volume of 12 issues of Hop Up Magazine from the George Barris personal car magazine collection. I recently purchased the collection from George's son. The collection consists of 1000s of car magazines from the 1950-1970s; individual issues, hardbound sets by year and magazine title, and car show programs.His son stated that these are the issues that George Barris kept for his own private collection.I will be listing many of them. I have one "Barris Kustom Industries Certificate of Authenticity", signed and dated by George's son, stating I purchased "the original George Barris vintage magazine collection from his son". A copy will be provided with every item sold from the collection. To see the collection:Go to "visit my store" or click on the store symbol next to my feedback. Enter Barris collection in my store's search box, then enter, and you will see all of the magazines and programs from the collection.Hop Up Magazine, hardbound, 1953, January-December, 12 issues, complete. This hardbound book was in the collection I purchased.January and February are the 5"x8" size magazines common in the 1950s; the others are the standard size. Hop Up Magazine later became Hop Up & Motor Life Magazine, then later Motor Life Magazine. I have the 1952 bound Hop Up from the George Barris collection listed separately. George's son told me that George did not take magazines in his collection to be hardbound. Rather, the magazine's publisher provided George a bound volume each year. Hop Up Magazines are great time capsules capturing the hot rod/custom car trends of the era. Bound volumes of Hop Up Magazine are very rare and the George Barris connection make this set a one-of-a-kind auto collectible. Clean, original, complete hardbound magazine set of 12 issues. Magazines are good to very good condition, bound volume is very good with minor shelf wear. See photos.
