Hot Rods.Airs on Sunday, July 10 at 11:00pm ETAirs on Monday, July 11 at 3:00am ETAn American pop-culture icon, the hot rod is revered throughout the world. Stripped down and hopped up, they began their automotive history as a Southern California craze nearly a century ago, and are now found racing on streets, dragstrips, and dry lakes everywhere. We'll explore the colorful history of these speed demons--from the "souped up" Model Ts of the 1920s and the Belly Tank Lakesters of the '40s and '50s to today's Rat Rods and fiberglass reproductions. We even take a ride in "Milner's Coupe", the hot rod made famous in the 1973 film American Graffiti.
