Hot Rods meanings

An automobile modified to increase its speed and acceleration,
as in Kids love to tinker with cars and try to convert them into hot rods.
Typically American cars with large engines modified for linear speed.
Nobody knows for sure the origin of the term "Hot Rod."
One explanation is that the term is a contraction
of "hot roadster,"
meaning a roadster modified for speed.
Open roadsters were the cars of choice to modify because they were light.
Hot Rod may also refer to the cam or push rods inside the engine
or other to the exposed frame rails of such an automobile.
It was adopted in the 1930s or 1940s
as the name of a car that had been "hopped up"
by modifying the cam to achieve higher performance.
