Ever since the automobile was invented, owners have found ways to strip 'em down and hot 'em up. The hot rodding movement began in California in the 20s, but the fashion for souped-up engines and creative body shapes took hold after World War II and has grown in popularity since then. Hot Rods celebrates the style, the technology and the associated street life in 500 stunning photos.

400 pages. With 500 photos in colour. Original softcover binding. 15x21 cm * Ein Hot Rod, oder auch Hotrod, ist ein speziell modifiziertes, meist US-amerikanisches Automodell aus den 1920er bis 1940er Jahren. Der Originalmotor ist zumeist durch ein leistungsstarkes V8-Aggregat ersetzt, die Karosserie aus optischen Gründen umfangreich verändert. Das Hot Rodding ist nur eine der vielen Varianten des US-Customizings. Abzugrenzen sind die Hot Rods insbesondere von den Custom Cars, bei denen ebenfalls umfangreiche Motor- und Karosserieveränderungen vorgenommen werden, deren Basisfahrzeuge jedoch wesentlich jüngeren Datums sind.
