The Latest from Art Evans
Paramount Ranch Remembered is a recent example
of Art Evans' excellent books recalling in great detail sports car racing's golden years known as The Fabulous Fifties.
241 pages are full of facts, race results, stories, profiles, photographs and candid remembrances from the celebrated
participants of the Paramount Ranch Races that were leading southern California events during the years 1956 and 1957. Recalling
those times are luminaries such as Dan Gurney, Bill Krause, Ruth Levy Raymond, Jack McAfee, Bob Bondurant, Bill Pollack, Bruce
Kessler, Al Moss, Chuck Daigh, Pete Vanlaw, Mary Davis, Jim Parkinson, Lew Spencer, Andy Porterfield, and the author himself,
Art Evans. This is a must for all who love The Fabulous Fifties, and who want to have Paramount Ranch's facts and
race records on hand, all between two covers. Evans calls his work, augmented by the many who contributed to it,
"A Complete and Comprehensive History," and that it certainly is. A reprint of William Edgar's "Provenance at Paramount"
article that appeared in the July/August 2005 issue of Vintage Motorsport magazine, is included in the text.
To purchase this informative and entertaining book about those bygone
sports car racing days at Paramount Ranch, call 800.289.3504, or email: orders@iconografixinc.com

by William Oosthoek & Michel Bollee

The book focuses on the works cars as well as privately-owned Maseratis of Tony Parravano, Jim Kimberly, John Edgar,
Temple Buell, Ebb Rose and J. Frank Harrison, Jr.
"This is a thoroughly fascinating document on the 450S, wonderfully illustrated

order. Weighting in at 3.5 pounds, every ounce of it is a gem of informational and reading enjoyment. The authors'
