While luxury cars like BMW 1 series or Ford can demand attention for their prices and exorbitances they can never combat with the style and power of yesteryear’s custom cars like hot rods. Hot rod cars symbolize power and speed. There are basically minimalists in nature compared to the traditional and accessory-ridden low riders. Hot rods depict aggressiveness in their speed.

Hot rod pictures from its humble beginnings in the 1940’s to the latest ones adorn the hot rod sites. One Hot Rod magazine’s first issue of January 1948 featured Eddie Hulse, who minutes after the photo shoot drove car number 668 to set a new record for Class C roadsters.

Low rider cars are a star in their own right. There’s an entire community of car lovers who swear by the names of lowrider models. The history of such custom cars traces back to Mexican-Americans, especially the Chicano community, which has contributed to the making of the lowrider. These cars are an epitome of slow cruising and have a huge luxurious accessory list comprising of headlight eyebrows, visors, ice can window air coolers and tons of chrome, to mention a few.

Some legacy lowrider cars that have stood the test of time include Chevy Bomb and Chevy Stovebolt. They are traditionally slow and this can be attributed to the local Mexican courtship traditions being imbibed into the automobile segment. There’s been such tremendous loyalty towards low riders that they are immortalized in their anthem ‘Whittier Boulevard’ by the Thee Midnighters
