  • Custom hot rods have been around for decades. Starting in the 1930s, the interest in hot rods quickly grew.

    Today, custom hot rods are still incredibly popular amongst car enthusiasts of all ages. From classic American muscle cars to modern imports, there’s something special about these modified vehicles that appeals to many drivers looking for an extra edge on the streets or at shows and events across America. People can get creative by adding chrome accents or swapping out parts like bumpers or grills for a completely new look - no two custom hot rods are alike!
    Hot rods in general have a lot of things that are things that are different than the other things but not very similar to the first thing or the second thing but the same as the last thing which is the current thing until another thing is found then that will be the current thing and the last thing until the next thing that means the last thing is not the last thing because the next thing is the now the last thing but the last thing can't be the first thing because the first thing is the last thing and the last thing will be the first thing.

    Brings back old memories of the days once I used to put model cars together. 🚗

      @Diesel257 Před 6 měsíci

      I didn't like the straight 6 in the Red Baron so I used a spare V8 from my 3-in-1 1955 Chevy gasser instead. Sadly that's the coolest thing I've done with a car of any size. Lol. Thanks for bringing back the memory.

    I worked on quite a few of those cars at Barris Kustom back in the 70s. Got to work with and learn from some great car builders there too. It's nice to see they're still appreciated.

      I built the Boot Hill Express model as a teenager and probably all the models that Monogram produced.
      I finally built a real 32 coupe ( fiberglass body). Chopped and channeled, 350 chevy and 350 box

    I know a lot of these cars from when I was growing up. We would see them at the Oakland Roadster show. They had to drive into the show to be in the show. Some of them were even made into models. A very creative and innovative time in American Hot Rodding. Some of them weren't to practical but you can definitely appreciate the craftsmanship. A lot of work goes into making a show rod. Thank you

    I liked the green hot rod Aerolithe at 627. I built the Aerolithe which Jay Leno featured twice and which has travelled the world. It is now a prime feature at the new Bugatti museum opening in Dubai. It is nice to see it inspire further designs. I have known or at least met many of the great 60s builders and owned several Barris cars, but my favourite designer whose cars I have always admired and desired to own was Ed Roth. He was equaled only by Dean Jeffries who I had the great pleasure of spending time with a few years before his passing.
    So few of these guys remain and there are few good enough to fill their shoes.

    My older cousin collected his plumbing company's calendar pages
    of Custom Rods with the Hot Girls in the picture.
    I spent hours in his garage as a young man.
    He took me to a show in Valley Forge, Pa. and met 3 of those girls. (I was 21)
    My cousin said to the one brunette (mid 20's), "I think your legally married to my cousin here.(pointing with his thumb at me) Very sweetly she replied, Oh, and how's that?"
    He wrapped his hand over my right bicep, and said feel that?
    "Oh You work out?" she asked, as she took a hold of it, looking into my eyes.
    No. No I just work a lot.
    She smiled. Hard Work, makes a Hard Man, she almost whispered too me.
    Want to get an Ice Cream? I asked?
    She had a break at 3, and 20 guys moaned as we walked off together.
    She said most guys ask her out for a drink, she liked that I wanted ice cream.
    I said, well it looks like you haven't eaten, so I thought I'ld fatten you up some?
    She swooned, thinking that I thought she was to skinny. lol!
    Amanda was a Doll. We dated when ever she was on the east coast
    untill she finally got married. Great guy, brought a Germany bus company to America.
    Last I saw her (in Cali, with Arnold S.) she is 74, and still stunning in a Bikini after 4 kids.
    She looks 25, 0 drugs, or surgeries.
    The one I should have.
    Great Cars. @1.37 The Little Red Wrecker, is one of my favorites,
    along with @2.11 The Red Baron with Cheryl. Both knockouts. lol!

Mostly the older 50s version of a Hemi and the early 283s and probably 327s with blowers and you could actually travel in these car's.
