Hot Rod Culture
Hot Rod Culture is a uniquely American lifestyle built around speed, style, and self-expression. Emerging in [[Southern California] during the 1930s and exploding after WWII, it was fueled by young enthusiasts modifying cars for performance and looks. What started with racing on dry lake beds grew into a nationwide phenomenon, shaped by car clubs, magazines, movies, and music. Hot rod culture blended mechanical skill with creativity, whether in the garage, at the dragstrip, or cruising down Main Street. More than just fast cars, it became a way of life that continues to influence everything from fashion to film to modern car scenes around the world.
