This issue covers the Autumn 2014 to Spring 2015 era of Mooneyes culture, capturing a lively mix of custom cars, vintage bikes, and Southern California–influenced lifestyle filtered through Japan’s hot-rod scene. It features major highlights from the 2014 Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show, including guest vehicles, standout builds, and the energy of one of the biggest custom-culture events in Asia.
The magazine showcases a range of memorable machines: classic Ford coupes, a wild Econoline pickup from Galpin Auto Sports, and multiple custom Harley-Davidsons and Hondas. Alongside the builds are cultural pieces—stories from photographer Shige Suganuma, profiles on long-time Mooneyes artists like Wildman Ishii, and snapshots of life inside the MOON Garage.
Like all Moon Illustrated issues, Vol. 14 doubles as a visual catalogue, packed with apparel, decals, parts, accessories, and garage goods from the era. It’s a colourful, bilingual celebration of custom-car culture, blending American roots with Japanese creativity.
