Hot rods and custom cars have always represented the independent and rebellious spirit of America. A craze that started not long after WWII when G.I.'s returning home decided to strip down and modify for speed an old jalopy they could pick up for cheap. Whether cruising to the burger stand or racing at the drag strip, these lowered, chopped, flamed, and chromed cars got the looks ...and the girls! It's a trend that continues to this day and is more popular than ever. Hot Rod Artist Larry Grossman brings this exciting scene to life with his unique and highly detailed pictures in Hot Rods.
