POST Your Definition of "Hot Rod" Pic

Isky's T is the first that springs to mind for me also.
I
Love
That
Car.

 

These two are my definition of a Hot Rod.

 

Ralph (rodster) ...

For most of us, we don't have to look any further than our own garages for our definition of the term 'Hot Rod' ... but according to this old dictionary, you must be luckier than most of us ...

 

For me-
Doane Spencer

For taking a hot rod & making it bad ass to the bone?
Boyce Asquith

 

Not to be confused with a f#/king rat rod

 

Hope you guys can straighten this out for me. For five decades that I know of guys have been trying to tell the rest of us what a hot rod is, so did life magazine, so did the readership of Hot Rod, Street Rod, et al. I'm making pop corn. Should be interesting.

 

I remember when the GTO was the cookie cutter along with the camaros,mustangs chevelles etc

Nothing wrong with a GTO I have a 67 and love it. BUT when I think of hot rods I think As 32s 33-34 39-40 etc

 

Hopped Up Fenderless Roadster

 

Very clever! Is'nt photoshop the best thing since sliced bread?

By the way, I loved the story about your Dad on your profile

 

Gary Gabelich- 'Blue Flame'.
Graffiti coupe.
An X-15.

 

I think this defines it pretty well.

 

That makes two of us. Simply stunning!

 

Cool thread.

 

rodster ... Actually, it's not a Photoshop ... just a little "Web App" I found on the Internet ... glad you enjoyed reading my profile and viewing my Albums.

 

this is the iconic Hot Rod

 

Here's the Henderson Roadster in 1944 winning the famous race against the horse, which was arranged by hot rod pioneer Ak Miller.

 

This does it for me .....

 

Apparently only a couple understand.......NAVARRO.
One word...a lifetime of HOT ROD!

 

The DSR hands down, it's over

 

Karl and Veda Orrs roadster can be the only one for me...................

I'll echo that comment on the Orr's roadster. Look at how badass that thing looks on the street in front of their shop!

 

But let's be honest, there's 100's of iconic cars that define the term "hot rod" perfectly. Maybe the real question should be "who's picture would show up next to the term "hot rodder"....

Maybe easier to pin down.

 

heres a few of my definition

 

The Doane Spencer Roadster, or the Pierson Bros. Coupe stuff like that, But NOT a purple GTO. I got the Navarro post, he was a very defining Hot Rodder, so was Vick Edelbrock, and Mickey Thompson. Pretty hard question for me as the first "real" Hot Rod I ever saw was a full fendered '29 Roadster. To me that's the beginning I've been chasing ever since.

Umm...No.

I think you are on the wrong message board.

 

This one does it for me !
R.I.P. Casey

 

nope,,think i just like cars and a Hot Rod is more than just a 30's Ford

Thats all..

not saying they ain't hot rods,,just saying they are'nt the only hot rods

 

Then the 15 oz Coupe!!!!

Mark, I have watched that video about 100 times and I just love to hear that guy say"Ok that went ok" right after he tagged the wall. Too funny but I know what he means.

 

It means that he "Survived"... Hahaha... time to change the underwear!
