How do you define a hot rod? It’s any car modified for appearance and performance at the sacrifice of comfort and reliability, of course. But when you say “hot rod” you kind of think of Ford Model As, and ‘32s. Maybe even fat-fendered ‘40s. Well, I feel like it’s time for me to have a road-going hot rod—but NOT a street rod. Join me in this video as I road trip two Model As to the Goodguys Pleasanton show and see a bunch of cool vintage stuff along the way. In the end, I’ll sit down for a philosophy lesson on what makes the perfect hot rod for me.
