"Rat Rod" is a style of Hot Rod or Custom car that imitates the early hot rods of the
30s, 40s, and 50s. It is not to be confused with the somewhat closely related "Traditional" Hot Rod, which is an accurate re-creation or period-correct restoration of a Hot Rod from the same era.
Make no mistake the rat rod is unique and truly one of a kind. |

Hot Rod was sometimes a term used in the 1950's as a derogatory term for any car that did not fit into the mainstream. Such modifications were considered to improve the appearance as well; leading to show cars in the 1960s replicating these same modifications along with a distinctive old school paint job.
As hot rodding became more popular, magazines and associations catering to Hot Rodders were started. As Hot Rodders began to race on the street in addition to drag strips, a need arose for an organization to promote the images of Hot Rodders. Hot rodders including Wally Parks created the National Hot Rod Association.

A show car, sometimes called a dream car, is a custom-made automobile created specifically for public display, rather than sale. They are shown at auto shows and other exhibitions.
Styling exercises build to reward successful designers, letting them design more exciting sedans and trucks. Such exercises also serve to draw attention to the general public and car fanatics. |
