POST Your Definition of "Hot Rod" Pic

They are following me!

 

OK, here's another one that screams HOT ROD for me:

 

Here's a couple I think are screaming

 

Just to clear up some history on Cole, in the 70's and early 80's he owned Cole's Streetrod components in Sac (Auburn and Madison). The body shop you refer to was Central Auto Body in Orangevale. The 34's there belong to me (red one) and Greg Everitt (green one with a track nose, and his parents owned the shop). Cole's car never sat there much.We are all still close friends.

 

...when I saw Milner back that yellow coupe outta that garage after he uncorked the pipes...I knew (as an impressionable young kid!) that I was watchin a bonafide HOTROD !!!! thats it for me right there....

 

I definately think its got to be a 32 Ford High boy Roadster,with a Carter Style Screen,371 Olds Motor with a Tri-Carb set up with white walls and 57 Olds Custom dash.








Oh and its got to have a back window that makes you want to post a letter in it.

 

Thanks!!! A few more details, a couple of changes, and she'll be there..

 

I hope I passed the audition....

 

I've always loved both of these cars

 

Yep the California Kid is a HOT ROD.I am convinced that this car and the movie was partly the reason for alot of us interested in Hot Rods.

I wish there were more Hot Rods in movies,bring on a another Cobra movie or California Kid ,American Grafitti.
WHO DIDNT watch the Worlds fastest Indian an not get inspired.

 

Jan. 12th 1904, Henry Ford sets a land-speed record of 91.37 mph on the frozen surface of Michigan's Lake St. Clair. He was driving a four-wheel vehicle, dubbed the "999," with a wooden chassis but no body or hood.

91 mph.. on ice... Henry was the man.

 

Definition of bawls.....

 

I got to see the 999 about a month ago at the Henry Ford museum. I looked at it for a while and though to myself this is undoubtedly the first hot rod built.

Very cool.

 

That's it...... I want one, i want one, i want one, i want one, i want one............ :-o
1932 Ford coupe.....!

 

I guess this says it for me. It arrives in my garage this Monday.
My first hot rod. The drawing are what I have planned for it!
Wish me luck.

It's these three for me in no particular order:

Saw this a/altered for sale at the Lineville Car Show (Lineville Al, a great late season show 750-800 cars, great weather)this past weekend. It does look wicked, reeked of past history and glory. Oh yea, now I remember, it is my car. Thanks for sharing my thoughts wingnutz. My first post. neaterstuff 42

 

The late Dick Kraft in 'The Bug'. If not the definition of a hot rod, definately the definition of a hot rodder. RIP...

In my opinion, a real hot rod has to have the 'nads to back up it's looks as well as be owner-built. This one is both and will always be THE hot rod in my eyes
