POST Your Definition of "Hot Rod" Pic

WOW! But where is the cigar?

 

My friend Daves model A just says Hot Rod for me. When you look at it, ride in it, & hear it.

 

These do it for me!

 

This was posted by Jeffrey James in post #95, note the belt line. The car is partially sectioned isn't it? Look at the other 5Windows in post #95.

 

Yes. Apparently there was a couple built like that around SF-Oakland area. That one is chopped. This one below owned in the 50s by Bill Crowell was a feature car around 1953, Full fendered, car still exists too.

Here's the 31' I had for awhile. Sorry to say I traded it away (kick butt here).

 

Wow, tons of great pictures, I am in aggreement with most everyone on here. An open wheel, no hood and fenderless coupe or roadster from the 30 would be my definition of a hot rod.

 

These three are the definitive hot rods in my opinion. Probably in this order. There are so many more so close to these, but if I had to start a list this is what it would look like. I added pics of the dash of each too, because to my OCD mind it is a very important part of the car and these three are also classic and timeless in that department. The picture of the McGee engine is just icing on the cake....

I also think the definitive hot rod would have to be a roadster by definition.......(sorry for the redundancy)

 

subscribed, cool thread

 

Yeah, really just an excuse to post pictures of cool cars, but what the heck.
