>>10440404Hot Rodding culture took place in the 50s, when those cars getting modded were 10-20 years old and undesirable due to new tech and inovation in automobiles. They were plenty abound, so it was nothing to soup them up. Same shit happened with 90s cars. All old shit becomes new again, and better for something to be made of it, than for them to rot in a junkyard and cease to exist no?
On a side note, the Deora II that Hot Wheels made originally aired on "Rides" back in the day when they chopped the roof off and cut up a brand new 2nd Gen Cadillac Escalade to make the Deora II.
