"The Predicta has been covered in many magazines. Though only a very few of these magazine references included any photographs of the actual construction of the two major versions of the car, the book will include dozens of such photos and you can see some by visiting the photo essay.

The Predicta was featured on the cover of both the August 1961 issue of Car Craft (where Starbird, on the right, was riding with CC editor Dick Day) and on the cover of the October 1990 issue of Model Car Journal where, under a pen name, I wrote an article on both the original model and the full-scale car. These are the only magazines on which the Predicta appeared on the cover."  Custom Rodder and other magazines also carried coverage on this remarkable custom car."
