Description

The stories were racked up like miles on an odometer. They told the tale of where he had been and who he had become. Mostly, though, they were Robert E. “Pete” Petersen’s magical way of bringing everything together and the main reason why one of the most successful publishing entrepreneurs in the history of the car-magazine business was just so good at what he did. As the founder of the company that produced Hot Rod, Motor Trend, Car Craft and dozens of other enthusiast magazine titles, Petersen was a story teller. And he made sure his magazines told great stories.
