OVERVIEW:
Popular Imported Cars began in October, 1964 as a bi-monthly publication and featured road tests and reviews of small and affordable automobiles from mostly Europe and Asia. Publishing continued into 1974 when it was re-titled to Small Cars magazine, primarily to embrace more American small cars in the content.

OWNERSHIP:

Mr. Lopez published many magazines including Sir, True, Laff, Real Crime, Surfing, and Ladies' Circle, as well as automotive titles such as Stock Car Racing and Super Stock & Drag Illustrated.
