If you like to race or just like admiring cool classic cars, you will love these hot rod quotes!

Hot Rods are a term used to describe cars modified to go faster, to look cooler, to sound louder, or any combination of the three.

Although hot rods are typically classic American cars that have been modified, there is no hard rule on the car’s make, model, or year to classify as a hot rod.

Before hot rods were a thing, the main cars that were “souped” up were bootleggers’ cars that were used to transport alcohol while avoiding revenue agents and other law enforcement.

Hot Rods started in the late 1930s in California, where people would modify cars to race across dry lake beds.

Today Hot Rods are prevalent at race tracks as well as the many car shows around the nation.
