Timeless Kustoms Combines an Old Vette Shell With the Latest and Greatest New Vette Parts
With their standard Blue Flame six-bangers, the '53 to '55 Corvettes could never be called fast--not even remotely quick by today's standards--but that's not what made people love them. At a time when new cars were big and heavy, the Vette, and its Ford Thunderbird cousin, offered a smaller and sportier package that allowed the bucks-up new owner to score chicks at will. Even today, you'll get a lot more looks in an early Vette than you will a new one.

We may not know why Danny's called Bubba, but we do know a winner when we see it, and that '66 Fairlane is a winner.
We're not certain why Danny's called Bubba, but he is--at least at Hot Rod Drag Week, where he's raced and finished every single one of the seven years we've thrown that party. Five of those thrashes have been in this '66 Ford Fairlane. It actually belongs to his father-in-law, who's known as nothing more than Pop. But Danny drives it, racking up something like 10,000 trouble-free miles. Oh, yeah--one time he needed to shim a U-joint with a slice of aluminum from a beer can.

This ’49 Cadillac Was Built To Run La Carrera Panamericana — the Mexican Road Race.
Hayden Groendyke can identify the exact instant he hatched the wonder featured here. He and co-driver Charles Samples were flying back from the ’09 edition of La Carrera Panamericana, known to us gringos as the Mexican Road Race. They’d just run the grueling, seven-day, 1,800-mile event—one of the great automotive adventures—in a mildly modded Hudson Hornet, and after a slew of mechanical problems, they were licking their wounds. Bag this, Hayden decided right then and there on the plane. “We’re doing this next year at the front of the bus,” he informed his co-piloto.

Sarasota, Florida
The problem with a genie hot rod is driving it. Straight-axle front suspension designed in the teens can make for darty high-speed manners. But throwing the shifter in High gear and rolling down the interstate at 75 mph in Richard Gilliam’s ’32 coupe, as we did during the ’11 Power Tour®, was a sheer joy. The car was surprisingly effortless to drive, quiet, and comfortable. Instead of focusing attention on steering corrections, we just hustled down the road, shuffled songs on an iPod playing through the hidden stereo, and enjoyed the air conditioning while carrying on a conversation at normal volume.

Road Runner Street Machine
Nose draggin’, tail waggin’. Mismatched wheels, squirrelly rubber, a knee-busting clutch, and a gnarly rumble. Yeah, street machines are back. Guys of the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals generation have slipped into a state of dementia, forgetting the mechanical horrors of their gearhead youth and smokin’ it back to the days when Gabriel Hijackers were hip. You can still buy those, by the way. From JC Whitney, no less.

HOT ROD and Car Craft Magazines teamed up again for another Friday Night Cruise October 28th.
Yet another successful HOT ROD/Car Craft Cruise Night went down on October 28, 2011. Roughly 120 cars were on display and the crowds just continue to get bigger and bigger. Two Ferrari’s, a GT-40, several first generation Camaros, classic racecars, and a couple late models were on hand to keep this cruise night the best yet. Check it out if you are in the Los Angeles area the last Friday of every month. If you can't make it, check back here to see more photos.

Sure there's nothing right with this hot rod... Then again, if loving this car is wrong, we don't want to be right... Or something like that.
There's nothing particularly right about this hot rod, but we defy you to find anything wrong with it--unless, of course, you're married to paint, polish, period-perfection, pulchritude, and all those other fun-killing pains in the patoot. None of that stuff has Jason Barringer's name on it, but his map does have his scrawl all over it. Every blue road in that sucker has seen the tread prints of this '24 Ford Model T Phaeton, which gets driven more than any retro rod we've seen in many moons. And that's the point.

It's been 100 years of Chevy, and 75 years of the Suburban. No matter how you slice it, it's about time to celebrate and commemorate.
Some projects come together over the course of a year or more, and some happen almost overnight. The Suburban seen here is an example of the latter. As the '11 HOT ROD Power Tour was looming, GM Performance Division kicked it into high gear on its new project vehicle for a Power Tour debut.
