Hot Rods 2. DVD
If you look back at the
images of people back in the forties & fifties they were all scrubbed
clean and happy to conform. Remember the people in Batman’s Gotham City
or Superman’s Metropolis, even the villains didn’t have a hair out
of place or a spot on their gray suits. Everyone was bred for social &
economic efficiency. The pressure was on to be normal.
So how could this button-downed culture turn out such a wild profusion of
outrageously styled and impractical automobiles? Maybe the spirits of the
times were working in the motor trade.
The old cars parade style, invention and plain old in-your-face assertion.
They are not like many modern cars, cautiously worried about the future judgments
of the trendy style police.They used deep compound curves of glass and steel,
welded-on interplanetary-travel stabilizing fins covered with enough chrome
trim to terrify any Martian invader. The drivers used the grill to show the
world the facial expressions that they were too modest and refined to use
themselves.
Maybe today the people themselves are more individualistic, but boy oh boy
the cars are sure boring.
We went to two locations, the obvious ( drag racing tracks ) and the geographically impossible ( dry lakes racing ).
Rebuilt cars don’t have to be made to be registered. This removes many restrictions that face people who want to rebuild cars that may be five or six decades old. You can build purely for show, or purely for go. And drive the Toyota to the supermarket to trade dints with other cars and territorially aggressive shopping trollies.
