OVERVIEW:
Road & Track is an American automotive enthusiast magazine first published 1947. It is owned
by Hearst Magazines and is published six times per year. The editorial offices are located in New York City.
The title has a long history, and it took a giant step forward when owned by John and Elaine Bond starting in 1952. They made it one of the first automotive magazines to take a quality approach to automotive journalism. Elaine liked the New Yorker magazine, so that was the inspiration and model for Road & Track under their leadership.
Besides publishing the monthly title, editors created a number of annual or one-shot titles including Road Test Annuals, Buyer's Guides, and Sports & GT Cars. This particular road test title ended shortly after the sale of the business by the Bonds to CBS Publications, and it was replaced with the Road & Track's Buyers Guide starting in 1974.
