Hot-rodding is a popular American culture. The phenomenon was covered for the first time by magazines. Brilliant print names like The Rodders Journal, Hot Rod Magazine, Street Rodder, Popular Hot Rodding, and Rod and Custom Magazine are just a few of the magazines that feature this staple in American life.

In addition to printing, hot rodding also gained mileage in the visual media wing. Discovery Channel featured a host of hot-rod documentaries like Monster Garage, American Hot Rod, and Overhaulin ‘. And TV shows like My Classic Car and Horsepower TV also had episodes dedicated to hot-rodding topics.

Tom Wolfe wrote about it in his book “The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby”. Even the Beach Boys sang it on “My Little Deuce Coupe.”

Hot-rodding began primarily in the 1930s in Southern California, where people began modifying light cars with large engines and racing them on the vast, empty lake beds northeast of Los Angeles. The original hot rods were older cars that were scaled down to weigh less and improve aerodynamics. After World War II, many small airports were abandoned in the country. In effect, these locations allowed the hot rodders to race marked routes. World War II also helped the popularity of the hobby, especially in California, where many returning soldiers had received technical in-service training to modify such cars.

At the heart of it all, the 1932 Ford Roadster was the car every hot-rodder wanted. It was the automobile that changed the automobile industry forever. He was simple, slim, and had an attractive and coveted body. It also had a very affordable engine, the V8, which awarded the 1932 Ford Roadster a reputation as the perfect car for a nation obsessed with speed.

But then, like everything else, the popularity of hot rodding began to wane. Car shows and drag racing divided the hot-rodding community. Later, Detroit released muscle cars like the Plymouth Roadrunner and the Pontiac GTO. With these muscle cars, it was no longer necessary to put a Cadillac engine in a Ford Roadster. The Pontiac GTO could outperform any hot rod and offered more room for passengers. It was no longer necessary to spend time building and tuning the car yourself. Muscle cars had it all.

But today, the hot rod culture lives on. And in January 2007, the hod rod culture even celebrated its 75th anniversary with the launch of the 75 most influential “1932 Ford Hot Rods.” The list was commissioned by Ford, where a panel of hot rod experts reviewed some four hundred and seventy-four worthy cars and narrowed it down to seventy-five cars.

So if you are interested in being a part of the hot rod culture, I advise you to first try renting the car from one of the car rental dealerships in town. By renting it, you would have a taste of experiencing the car, not just in a nostalgic showroom, but on the gravel itself. If you don’t like it, you won’t regret it because you can return it after renting it. But if you like it (which I’m pretty sure you will like), then great.

You can also check the sites of these car rental dealers. Their websites already offer car models, prices, rental sources, special offers, and reservations. Live and be a part of the American way in a rental like the 1932 Ford Roadster. This is the American Way as you know it, discover it first hand in your exotic rental car.
