    The Greatest Rod & Custom Cars!

     



    What were the most popular models for rods & customs????...and why were they???

    I was talking with a friend the other day about the iconic status of the '57 Chevy Bel Air. That started me thinking about my own 40+ years as a hard core hot rod, muscle car, custom, and drag race enthusiast, and all of the great cars that have been given a special status by the people of this hobby.

    I thought about many different models, and what made them almost timeless in our eyes. It occured to me that many were extremely well known, but there were also some that had their own unique status, though less known by newcomers to the hobby.

    This morning I was still thinking about it, but it occured to me that a thread devoted to these special models might be fun, and also educational for those younger people who might not have been around to experience the history of some cars within the American hot rod hobby.

    In addition, it might be nice to discuss some of the most obvious cars, and tell what made them popular in the first place.

    Feel free to write up your favorites, and please try to post a picture or two for those who will not know them by name.
