Peter Vincent is an artist, author, and photographer who’s been working with the landscape at the Bonneville Salt Flats for over 20 years, and 40 years of Photographic Art, combining it with the Sub-Culture of Land Speed Racing and the Pop-Culture of the American Hot Rod. He’s a regular on the salt every August for “Speed Week” and never misses this gathering, ever. He’s published numerous books on the automobile and his work has been displayed in museums across the country including many permanent collections. His fourth book, The Bonneville Salt Flats, 20 Years of Photography was released in the fall of 2013. Peter’s fifth book, The Rolling Bones is now available. His images have been published in many magazine including The Rodder’s Journal, Hop Up, Hot Rod and American Rodder. His iconic 7 Coupes photograph, taken in 2002, appeared on the cover of Hop Up magazine. One of Peter’s photographs hangs in my home.

My name is Ken Schmidt , co owner of the Rolling Bones Hot Rod Shop. We have published a companion to Peter’s Rolling Bones book called the ” Book of Gow ” which is an old term for hot rods before they were called hot rods and stands for Gas , Oil , Water . Our book is currently printed and in the binding stage and we expect delivery in a few weeks. Out of the one time printing of 2,500 copies we have pre-sold over 400. Since you have done something with Peter’s are you interested in ours? Like Peter’s books the Book of Gow is not your average car book . It features a cover painting Tom Fritz created exclusively for us , lots of great art and photography by Peter along with many other prominent photographers . Sections on style , our style , road trips , the shop , racing and so on.
Thanks
