Old Cars modified

The first hot rods were old cars , most often Fords, typically Model Ts, 1928–31 Model As, or 1932-34 Model Bs, modified to reduce weight. Typical modifications were removal of convertible tops, hoods, bumpers, windshields, or fenders; channeling the body; and modifying the engine by tuning or replacing with a more powerful type. Speedster was a common name for the modified car. Wheels and tires were changed for improved traction and handling. "Hot rod" was sometimes a term used in the 1950s as a derogatory term for any car that did not fit into the mainstream. Hot rods modifications were considered to improve the appearance as well, leading to show cars in the 1960s replicating these same modifications along with a distinctive paint job.
