    Dave,thank you for this. It made this old man reminisce about my youth. True rat rods are today’s hot rods. They didn’t come in a box via fed ex or ups. It doesn’t take much ingenuity to build a hot rod in a box.

      Hey Keith, So glad you enjoyed our episode. With so much great hot rod history to share, it wasn't easy deciding what to include, but the story couldn't have been told without mentioning your father.

    A great video and some period cut ins fed the story. It was a 36’ or perhaps a 35’ Ford that is suspected as the basis for the first competition car my grandfather built in 1936 married with a 21 stud sidevalve and used for trials driving here in UK. From that he built 12 ‘copies’ for customer’s such was the first car’s success. Postwar a whole car building business blossomed from that one starter, very rare for a one off builder to achieve it. Come full circle after the 50’s went then car building was not viable for many British companies he got interested in drag racing, a sport non-existent in the UK until he made it a sport with the first British dragster running in 1962. Having just been at Santa Pod celebrating 60 years of British drag racing and all 3 original dragsters and the Moon ‘Mooneyes replica over it was a great time. The place was covered in hot rod and now understanding what a rat rod is there were those too. My grandfather was Sydney Allard, he might have been born a Londoner but he had so much in common with you rodders. The main idea was to stick it to the major sportscar racing manufacturers which his cars managed to do over a decade before the AC Cobra. Again thank you I have learned a lot.

    Originally the steering was on the right side so you could keep close tabs on the ditch. Ford saw that traffic would be increasing and made it so that you directly faced oncoming traffic. That Caddy is sweet. Dave restored my dad,s 32 Buick convertible almost 35 years ago, long before he became famous.

    I'm about the same age as Dave and in the 1970's the trend was street rods. A kind of almost a hot rod but setup as a driveable custom car that was reliable but really even only mildly hopped up stock engines, even if you had a 671 blower on it. Back then I was a member of the National Street Rod Association and had a '34 Plymouth tudor sedan. I think people spent more on chrome back then, then anything else.

    • @seanmcpeek7493
      @seanmcpeek7493 4 месяца назад

      What are you even talking about ? You think people didn't paint their cars shiny red and have chrome etc. back in the day. Try looking at a few old hotrod mags. Not every car was a primered beater. That doesn't make anything period correct. Look at Norm Grabowskis T bucket, Tommy Ivos T etc. Where do you think candy apple paint, metal flake pearls etc. came from? Hotrodders thats who.
