Description

Hot rods are cars built by and for the chosen few—those who are willing to sacrifice comfort for speed and lots of it. Like the hot rod pioneers who drove their machines on the dry lake beds of Southern California and the beaches of Florida, the builders of the cars featured in this book understand what hot rodding is all about: hopped-up engines and stripping a car of all non-critical parts to maximize performance and style.

In Hot Rods, motojournalist Alan Mayes highlights more than 40 cars that represent the breadth of styles found in hot rodding today. Classic traditional rods, wild show rods, and bare-bones rat rods are all featured, as are several head-turning cars that defy categorization. All of these hot rods are meant to be driven—and driven fast—but they also show off the distinctive and flawless detail work of their builders and preserve the traditions of that early hot rodding culture.
