A hot rod is a car, originally American, with serious modifications designed to achieve the maximum possible speed. The origin of the term "hot rod" is not entirely clear. One theory says that this is an abbreviation for the English. hot roadster (hot roadster). The term became commonly used in 1930-1940 for a high-powered car. Roadsters were most often chosen for conversion into hot rods because of their small mass. Often, for additional relief, fenders, hoods and other hinged body parts were removed from the cars, which gave such cars a very specific appearance, which later became a kind of "classic". An indispensable accessory for hot rods is the large rear wheels, which allow the maximum power of the engine to be realized. The Griezers subculture was associated with hot births (which are often awkwardly translated here as "greasers"). These representatives of rebellious youth, closely associated with crime, loved rock and roll and rockabilly, wore leather jackets and jeans, and mercilessly covered their hair with kilograms of grease. Other than that, they loved two things: the Harley Davidsons and the Hot Rods.
