Release in Japan on OCT 31, 2008, MOON ILLUSTRATED vol.2 (MIM#2) features 2/3 content and 1/3 catalog.
It includes the latest releases and new items since the first volume was released. However, the big difference in this volume is the content! There are articles and stories that are written in English and Japanese text. All content is focused on or around Southern California Lifestyle, well, maybe except for Hiro "WILDMAN" Ishii's article which is in a MANIA category of its own!
Contents include a drive along southern California's Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) to Long Beach, Seal Beach, Westminster, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. Along the way, stops are made to meet with people like Mark Drews, his '40 Ford Opera Coupe and his choppers. The photo-rich articles continue with the Sinner's "Liberty Shindig" in Westminster, the Stopnik Family and their Triumph choppers, Mike Marshall and his '63 Rambler Kustom as well as Drew Colone and his rare '54 VW Type II. Each article is a story with southern California charm and a unique yet familiar taste. Other content includes So-Cal Cycle Show and Swap Meet and Outlaw Moto Rally at Rooster Cafe.
There's more!
Content continues with a BONNEVILLE Report and diary log with photos, and the Inside Story of Shige Suganuma's '69 Chevy Camaro that literally took 30 years in the making.
This book was initially published for the Japanese market but after its release there was an overwhelming number of people saying how they enjoyed the articles and how interesting it was to read. Therefore, we are making it available worldwide! If you are interested in ordering items from the catalog, please let us know or visit MOONEYES online!
