Rods in the Forties. SCTA - THE CLUBS - RUSSETTA - HOT
ROD SHOWS - EL MIRAGE - HOT ROD MAGAZINE. This book is for rodders
of all ages. Older hot rodders will remember names and rods and
perhaps a lot of memories.
Young street
rodders will see what the early street rods were like and the ideas
that resulted in the street rods of today. The 1940's were the most
important and most exciting period in the history of hot
rodding.
Today's
separate and distinct activities of street rodding, drag racing,
lakes time trials and Custom cars have all evolved from the hot rods
of the 1940's. In addition hot rodders have had a major influence on
all areas of automotive related activities from racing to styling to
design and manufacturing. But over fifty years ago hot rodding
included the whole thing. The rodders built, altered, and maintained
their own rods. Working on the rods provided a good
"hands-on" education for the owners. And of course driving
and testing at the lakes or on the street was more than half the
fun.
This book
presents a look at 1940's hot rodding through the pictures from
rodders' photo albums. Naturally the emphasis is put on showing the
hot rods of that period. Roadsters, coupes, and sedans are shown on
the streets and at the lakes. Information about the cars, the
owners, clubs and speeds are included with the photos. Hard bound.
