The hot rod and automotive world has lost one of the great hot rod legends, Arnold Baer Shuman, better known as “A.B.,” who died suddenly Friday, May 10, 2013 at his home in Hillsdale, N.J. He was 72.
A.B. was a former Mercedes-Benz spokesman during the 1970s and 1980s. He was also a great historian and author. He influenced many in our industry.
Hotrodding was his biggest passion. He was a good friend to Hotrodhotline and in the past had taken pictures for our magazine.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time..
A.B. is survived by his wife, Lois, and his sons David and Scott. A memorial service has been scheduled for May 31. The location will be announced at a later date.
