In the July, 1958 issue of Car Craft Magazine, Neil Emory and Clay Jensen introduced their idea of a "street rod."

I am not feeling that one, but then again, I'm pretty lame. I hot rods to be as simple and pure and functional as possible.

Does this mean that hot rods built in 57 can now be called street rods and still be traditional. I am confused.
