In origine il termine indicava la pratica di prendere una vecchia e poco costosa auto e di alleggerirla togliendo i paraurti, i finestrini, il tetto e tutte le parti non indispensabili. Il motore veniva sostituito o migliorato per avere una maggiore potenza. Venivano aggiunti pneumatici più grandi e l’auto veniva verniciata in modo molto appariscente.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0o-T7Q1Y80g/RznZheHTwkI/AAAAAAAAAGw/vB-LQJ3Heuw/s1600-h/005.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132372419408020034" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0o-T7Q1Y80g/RznZheHTwkI/AAAAAAAAAGw/vB-LQJ3Heuw/s320/005.jpeg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0o-T7Q1Y80g/RznZvuHTwlI/AAAAAAAAAG4/1wNfNtNc46s/s1600-h/50merc2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132372664221155922" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0o-T7Q1Y80g/RznZvuHTwlI/AAAAAAAAAG4/1wNfNtNc46s/s320/50merc2.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Ci sono diverse ipotesi sull’origine del termine. Una prima ipotesi fa risalire il termine alla contrazione di ‘’Hot Roadster’’ mentre secondo altri questo termine deriva dall’operazione di sostituzione delle bielle, in inglese ‘’rod’’, effettuata per permettere al motore di raggiungere un numero di giri superiore senza incorrere nel rischio di avarie meccaniche. Durante gli anni ‘50 e ‘60 questo termine veniva usato in senso dispregiativo per qualsiasi vettura che fosse diversa dalla massa delle vetture prodotte in serie. Nel 1970 gli ‘’hot rodder’’ cercarono di ripulire la loro immagine e adottarono il termine Street rod per definirsi.<br />Al giorno d’oggi le vetture hot rod sono diventate delle opere d’arte e quindi vengono tenute sempre ben pulite e rese molto vistose. Coloro che ancora preparano le loro vetture rifacendosi all’idea originale di vettura economica, senza fronzoli ma veloce e potente vengono definiti Rat rod.<br />Molte sono, nei paesi anglosassoni e del Nord Europa, le riviste dedicate alle auto hot rod: Hot Rod Magazine, Street Rodder, Popular Hot Rodding. Ci sono anche delle trasmissioni televisive che parlano di questa tipologia di vetture come My Classic Car e Horse Power Tv.<br />Gli Hot rod sono importanti nella cultura americana. Il giornalista e saggista Tom Wolfe fu uno dei primi a riconoscere l’importanza degli hot rod nella cultura popolare e con il suo libro del 1965 The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby fece conoscere questo fenomeno fuori dai confini degli appassionati.<br /></div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0o-T7Q1Y80g/Rznfr-HTwnI/AAAAAAAAAHE/62TdMZ_y-h0/s1600-h/772px-Hot_Rods_6_db.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132379196866413170" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0o-T7Q1Y80g/Rznfr-HTwnI/AAAAAAAAAHE/62TdMZ_y-h0/s320/772px-Hot_Rods_6_db.jpeg" border="0" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0o-T7Q1Y80g/Rznf8uHTwoI/AAAAAAAAAHM/Uj0OKZDwzBE/s1600-h/usa3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132379484629222018" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0o-T7Q1Y80g/Rznf8uHTwoI/AAAAAAAAAHM/Uj0OKZDwzBE/s320/usa3.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0o-T7Q1Y80g/RzngROHTwpI/AAAAAAAAAHU/-Tytx2-u2eY/s1600-h/109098751_1.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132379836816540306" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0o-T7Q1Y80g/RzngROHTwpI/AAAAAAAAAHU/-Tytx2-u2eY/s320/109098751_1.jpeg" border="0" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Negli USA, specie sulla costa occidentale, esiste ancora una vibrante cultura hot rod. I costruttori di tali vetture, come Jesse James famoso anche per i suoi ‘’chopper’’ (motociclette modificate), sono entrati a far parte della cultura popolare. L’emittente televisiva Discovery Channel trasmette diversi programmi che trattano l’interpretazione moderna della Kustom Kulture: Modern Garage, American Hot Rod (trasmesso anche in Italia) e The Kustomizer.<br />Juxtapoz Magazine fondato dall'artista Robin William ha prosperato negli ultimi anni mostrando le più recenti estrapolazioni della ‘’Kustom Kulture Art’’.<br />La cultura hot rod è ancora molto viva anche in Svezia dove ci sono molti appassionati, chiamati raggare, di questo tipo di vetture e diversi club dedicati all’hot rod.</div></div><div><div><a
