A lot of talk about "bracketing" of vehicles has got me to thinking as to what year defines a Hot Rod? A few clubs I have been in have limited member cars to pre48. This in my opinion works quite well. Sort of cuts it between fendered and slab sides. Another problem some of the "early" clubs encountered was if they had an open ended year (car year) for membership, they would get an influx of late model vehicles and car shows would look like the local shopping centre car park. Some may say that limiting to pre 48 is suicidal to the HOTROD fraternity, what do you guys think?
