<br> Hot rod - a car, originally American, with major modifications designed to achieve the highest possible speed. The origin of the term “hot rod” is not completely clear. One theory is that it is short for English. hot roadster. The term became common in 1930-1940 to refer to a car with a forced engine.<br> It was most often roadsters that were chosen most often for conversion to hot labor because of their small mass. Often, for additional relief, the wings, hoods and other hinged parts of the body were removed from the cars, which gave such machines a very specific appearance, which later became a kind of “classic”. An indispensable accessory of the hot births is the large rear wheels, which make it possible to fully realize the engine power.<br> <br> A subculture of the Grisers was associated with hot births (which we often feel awkwardly translated as "brioliners"). These rebel youth, closely associated with crime, loved rock and roll and rockabilly, wore leather jackets and jeans, and mercilessly covered their hair with kilograms of briolin. In addition, they loved two things: Harley-Davidsons and Hot Rods.
