Strassenkreuzertreffen Kaunitz 2022

Saturday Hotrod show in the Western Cascades..

Hot rods are typically American cars with large engines modified for linear speed. The origin of the term "hot rod" is unclear. One explanation is that the term is a contraction of "hot roadster," meaning a roadster that was modified for speed. Roadsters were the cars of choice because they were light. The term became commonplace in the 1930s or 1940s as the name of a car that had been "hopped up" by modifying the engine in various ways to achieve higher performance.

I have merged two images in an attempt to get a better background, which turned out to be harder than I thought. If you look closely you can see some misses here and there but overall I am satisfied.

The car was photographed today at Kvarndammen hobby car auction in Kungalv

After hundreds of pictures of cars at the hotrod show, my interrest went to people and this man had no problem to pose for me.
