Cool Hot Rod DVD (Hot Rod Culture in the 1950's)

Enjoyable look at the hot rod culture of the early 50's. A high school boy talks about his need for speed at the local drag strip. But no "death racing" here; our hot rodder shows us how joining a hot rod club – with its membership rules, safety tests and speed restrictions -- provides the best way to enjoy this fast-growing sport. Produced by actor John Wayne's friend, Sid Davis.

1953, B&W, 27 minutes.
