Custom Car | January 2026
The January 2026 issue of Custom Car is out now, and it’s the perfect way to fire up your year in true hot-rodding style.
This month delivers a must-read feature build – Brian Crawford’s beautifully executed, period-perfect, 1950s-style fenderless ’32 three-window coupe is a masterclass in traditional rodding and pure dedication.
We then witness the extraordinary rebirth of a ’55 GMC that was nearly lost to an engine-bay fire. Rescued and completely reimagined by Bomber County Classics, the truck returns better than ever in shimmering Phoenix Aquamarine.
This issue hits the ground running with event action from across the scene: the wet-and-wild highs and lows of Pendine Sands, the stop-start drama of the Summer Nats, and all the spectacle of Flame & Thunder at Santa Pod.
Add in news, reviews, tech, gear, events, and plenty more, and you’ve got your essential New Year’s read.
