Gauge Magazine April 2026 Issue

If you live for chrome, horsepower, and the rumble of a built engine, this lineup delivers. “SPIKE,” a 1946 Ford truck owned by Joe Stallsworth and shot by John Mumaw, brings raw post-war attitude with custom edge. “Land Lord,” Shane Hancock’s 1967 Chevy C10 captured by Dan Davis, blends vintage style with modern swagger. Then there’s “Papa Smurf,” a bold 2018 Ford Mustang GT owned by Brandon Sparks and photographed by Chris Gosda—modern muscle that refuses to be ignored.

On the event side, the Certified Summer Car Show in Atlanta lit up July 26, 2025, while the Moon Eyes Open House in Santa Fe Springs brought classic SoCal vibes on July 12. Back in the Midwest, Canp-N-Drag in Waveland, Indiana (July 18–20) proved grassroots culture is alive and loud.

Rounding it out, Gauge Girl Elizabeth, shot by Dan Davis, adds the perfect extra spark to a culture built on style and speed.
