Launched in 2000, Rolls & Pleats is the oldest magazine dedicated to traditional rods and customs. But it’s not just the oldest, it’s also the best! Indeed we have the highest quality photos, cleanest and most tasteful layout, most interesting cars, most informed text... Just take a look at the slide show below for a preview of our current issue.

The cars we feature are amongst the most influential of the moment. We like cars that look right, so you won’t find any bad taste, gimmicky “clown rods” in Rolls & Pleats! We only feature period perfect cars but with a preference for fresh, novel ideas. And we do also feature historical rods and customs from the ‘50s and early ‘60s - always exclusive articles that you won’t see elsewhere.

Not only do we cover all the major US shows (Paso Robles, Lonestar Round-Up, Road Agents' Rockabilly Rumble, Hunnert Pile-Up, Grand National Roadster Show, Detroit Autorama, etc.) but we also cover all the best shows in Europe, Japan and the rest of the world, which makes our magazine the only one with a truly global approach. Inspiration for your next projects will be fueled by cars built on the other side of the world!

One other thing that gives our magazine its strength and popularity is that we give detailed information about every single car that is part of our show coverage. Unlike many other mags, we don’t just toss together photos from car shows without giving any information. Each photo is fully captioned with the right info, given to us by the owner. You look at a car and all your questions are answered in the detailed caption. Yes it’s a lot more work for us, but that’s probably why we sell so many copies worldwide!
