For me I've always concidered a Hotrod to be a machine purpose built for speed...a bit more hard core than its close cousin .... the Streetrod but less flashy. And typically the older cars....20's 30's 40's....but wait....I would definitely concider a 55-57 Chevrolet with the gasser look a hot rod...and and and... Oh never mind. I like em all so its hard for me to define!
