16th International Automotive Media Competition announces 2006 International Automotive Media Awards (IAMAs)
Jim Dunne and Jean Jennings take top honors
Veteran auto writer/spy photographer Jim Dunne is the 2006 recipient of the International Automotive Media Award for Lifetime Achievement. ( Brock Yates, Car and Driver, won in 2002 )
Dunne has been Detroit Editor of Popular Mechanics for the past 21 years. His career began with a column for national magazines in the mid-1960s, which continues today.
Jim’s reputation nowadays is equally based on being one of the pioneers in so-called spy photography. As photographer or writer, he travels extensively.
In addition to all the above--auto writing, photography and travel, together with an active sports life--Jim Dunne is a safety device inventor/patent holder, and fit in a stint as technical writer for Redstone Missile.
A native Detroiter, Dunne is a graduate of the University of Detroit and a U.S. Army veteran. He has seven grown children, and lives now in Grosse Pointe, Michigan.

Found more about this in volume one, issue 1 of The World of Rods magazine, page 16. Constructed by Hot Rods and Custom Stuff of Escondido 1 800 hot rod5 , owned by Mike Richards of Escondido. The engine is from a 57 T-bird, and looks like its supercharged to me, but the magazine writer didn't mention that.... odd, that's a cool feature!
http://www.hotrodscustomstuff.com/ is the website... and is full of cool stuff, like legislative alerts, galleries of the cars they've put out, and a page of all the magazine cars (a mean lots!) they've had featured.
