Featured Hot Rods Who Said the Future of our Hobby is Dead…

  1. Your post gives me hope....

    Outside of my son (22), very few in our part of the world (SE Alberta) are into customs or hot rods. I'm still considered a "young" guy at 48 in the hobby. Even a few of my sons ideas for his 56 Victoria are a little OT, but he's into it and I'm proud of him. Our friend group are into mostly post-60's cars and trucks, and who knows what else. Even our daughter has a "Squarebody" she loves, but one day she is proud to inherit our 56.

    From what I see around here, the hobby is going in a direction at least, but fragments of it are slowly dying. I remember as a kid in the 80's, guys were building chopped Mercs and 30's coupe hotrods. These days that kind of aspect of the hobby are ghosts. Our area is saturated with Musclecars and restored parade cars.

    I'm optimistic, and hoping for good things for the future!!

    Lucky rascal, I have always wanted a square body bird like that! I think that he has the bug pretty bad and we don’t have to worry about him not having a cool car either Lord knows you got a pascal of them :D
