Default Re: Hot Rod / defining its history
Hey, I did a little checking around in the archives and definitions. How about this?


Hot Rod:

The most popular definition of a Hot Rod would be "a modified
vehicle of American origin, originally manufactured prior to 1949".


Hot:

- prone to overheating

Rod:

- power or dominion
