Hot rods are custom-built cars, typically from the early 20th century, that have been modified for performance and style. They often feature powerful engines, unique paint jobs, and custom interiors. The hot rod culture began in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s, with enthusiasts modifying cars to race on dry lake beds and streets. Over time, hot rods became a symbol of rebellion and creativity, with each car reflecting the personality and skills of its builder.
In the UK, the National Street Rod Association (NSRA) is a prominent organization for hot rod enthusiasts. They host events, shows, and races, bringing together a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for these unique vehicles.
