OVERVIEW:
Rodder and Super Stock was a re-titling of Custom Rodder magazine. Content was mostly focused
on drag racing. It was an East coast, bi-monthly, full-format magazine published by Irwin Stein and Magnum Publications organization.
Mr. Stein was well known as a New York publisher and owner of Lancer Books. The editorial director was Martyn L. Schorr.
Note that the volume and series numbering continued from Custom Rodder at volume 14 and continued through volume 19. Then for some unknown reason, the numbering was re-started at volume 6 in March, 1971. This may have been due to a change in ownership. In March, 1974 the name changed again when it was re-titled as Chevy Action.
