OUR FAVORITE MOTORTREND COVERS FROM THE PAST 70 YEARS • One of the greatest parts of the magazine industry is immersing yourself in the back catalog of old issues and seeing how the world has changed with time. Not surprisingly, our covers have reflected the decades they were born into: In the ’50s, the covers of MotorTrend were beautifully sketched and simply done, whereas in the ’80s we shifted to a big, splashy, and bold aesthetic, often featuring models and props. In celebration of 70 years, we went through our archives and selected our favorites.
