Few lexicons are as rich, as varied, or as unique as that which the hot rodding community has developed over the last 60-plus years. Sure to appeal to veteran enthusiasts as well as those still wet behind the ears, The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary features painstakingly researched definitions for more than 1,600 terms and phrases.
Described within are the technologies, designs, styles, vehicles, and phenomena associated not just with hot rods, but also with muscle cars, drag racing, custom cars, and lowriders.
In addition to cross-referencing terms that appear eleswhere in the book, author Jeff Breitenstein offers etymologies as well as usage examples and pronounciations where appropiate.
The resulting long-overdue study, which is accompanied by more than 225 exclusive line-art illustrations, is a must for anyone interested in more than a half-century of hot rodding, automotive, and motorsport history and its cultural implications.
