From Old To New
The term "hot rod" was first used as a negative connotation thrown at cars that really didn't blend into everyday society. Most had modified body panels, front grilles, and swapped engines that didn't fit the cookie-cutter image that automobiles of their time should have. Many of these cars started off as low-budget models that were hardly worth their weight in scrap metal. Owners put hours of labor and as much money as they could muster into building what their idea of the ultimate car was: pieces of their personalities. Peer competition, ingenuity, and the will to build something better than the next guy was the drive that pushed hot rodders of yore to a whole new level. Sounds a whole lot like our world, doesn't it? Today, hot rods are admired and adored worldwide. Whether or not the next generation of hot rods will obtain such notoriety has yet to be determined. Only we can make that call.
