Hot Rods If you could pick a car that epitomizes the word "Hot Rod" what one car fits that bill?

Come on, everybody post a picture of their car.

 

Alex Idzardi's coupe

 

Couple in mind for me. The first is Brian Bass' roadster.

 

the second is Jordan Graham's roadster, but the A coupe they own sitting in the background aint too shabby either!

 

I ended up buying that coupe from Jordan. Very cool little ride. Sold it to a guy from Vallejo.

 

I'm sure Jake's coupe has been posted. But its my favorite. And this is a photo, I took from the front. Plus these three say{ HOT ROD!} Thanks Jason for the like of the UFO . That little coupe has been abused. And it needs a redo bad. Hope to do that before spring Ron...

 

the odd ogg

 

Can not leave out Littlemans Deaths Doorstep.

 

I can't find a picture that will let me copy and paste it but the Chrisman Brothers Coupe is my all-time favorite.

Just for you racer, from our very own HAMB:

 

Another work of art from Johnson's Hot Rod Shop. Homeboy builds some nice stuff. I love the Y-block in this one.

 

Any number of cars fit the bill for me but,
they are more often than not a stripped down '28-'32 Ford Roadster built between the late forties through the mid fifties.
They may have been finely painted and detailed in life but in my mind's eye they were home built and just a little on the crude side.
They were definitely driven, maybe a little too fast on the street and maybe pushed a little too hard on the strip
but all in the name of fun.

 

How bout JERSEY SUEDE ? I've always thought this car was just plain tough. Maybe alittle over the top but still,,,,I wouldnt kick it outta bed for eatin crackers !!

 

I think this thread is the epitome of all the epitome threads.

I'll agree with Racer 29 and Highlander. Nothing says Hot Rod like Chrisman's Coupe.

 

I love the Little coupe! Why don't you just let me bring the thing home and I'll redo it for ya...then you dont have to worry about it!

 

Early photo of "Magoo" with one of his true hot rods....

 

Epic thread.

Doane Spenser roadster for me.

 

No explanation required.

But Ed Isky's car gets extra points for being first.

 

Love this car

 

By far my all time favorite hot rod is the Flint Roadster.
Built by Dick Flint in the years after WW2 it was raced at the dry lakes and was featured in numerous magazines. Sold in 1961 to LA Roadsters member Dwane Kofoed who campaigned the roadster on the streets of SoCal until selling it to Don Orosco in the 1990s. Don did a complete restoration, competing at and winning the Pebble Beach Concours.
In 2013 RM Auctions sold the roadster for $525,000.
My stupid computer wont let me upload a picture!
Maybe someone will post a pic of this beautiful car.

 

'nuther view of the cop shop coupe....bad ass!

 

Too many factors including when you were born but 3 Window Larry's coupe nails it for me. Stance, timeless looks, mean looking as all hell but still built to be driven anywhere any time without a hassle. Plus it holds it's own in a garage with some of the most outstanding garage mates on the planet and does it well.

 

Here's the Dick Flint Roadster.

 

Thanks for posting, hopefully I'll figure out my problem uploading pictures.

 

It's funny how different folks perspectives are. I like em all, there in lies the problem. Ask my wife.

 

This one`s all ways done it for me since it was on the cover of Rod & Custom.

 

Heh??? Just when I thought I was getting a small clue as to what the definition of traditional is here.
Very confusing.
