Hot Rod and Drag Parts Illustrated

OVERVIEW:
This magazine originally started as Speed & Auto Equipment Advertiser (S&AE Advertiser) in March, 1962 as a bi-weekly (every other week) advertiser for hot rod and drag parts. It was published by Jack Chappell and Jerry Burton under Chappell Publishing in Southern California. An 8-page, newspaper style publication on 11-1/2" by 16" paper, content was advertiser ads and reader classified ads. It cost $.25 per issue or $5.00 per year.

The title went through multiple changes, but volume and series numbering carried over through each one:

It became simply Parts Illustrated in June 1st, 1963, began using a traditional magazine format, and continued as a bi-weekly publication.
On August 1st, 1963 it became Hot Rod Parts Illustrated.
In October, 1963, it became a monthly publication.
And, finally, it was re-titled a last time as Drag Parts Illustrated in April, 1967.

Funding appears to have come from both classified and traditional vendor advertising.
