A rat rod is a style of hot rod or custom car that, in most cases, exaggerates the early hot rods of the 1940s, 1950s, and early-1960s. The style is not to be confused with the somewhat closely related "traditional" hot rod, which is an accurate re-creation or period-correct restoration of a hot rod from the same era.

Most rat rods appear "unfinished", regardless of their status, as only the vehicle's bare essentials are driven. Built to drive not show.

Le « Rat rod » est un hot « rod » dont on a laissé rouiller certaines parties métalliques pour lui donner une patine et un aspect négligé et qui est généralement hyper surbaissé. Outre l'aspect rouillé, la peinture peut-être travaillée pour donner une allure usée. Tout ceci est fait dans une pure recherche de style ou pour donner à la caisse et à l'ensemble de la voiture une allure d'automobile qui a traversée les âges.

Il est aussi dit "Rat Rod" d'un véhicule resté totalement dans son jus mais avec une mécanique clean (moteur, freinage, direction etc.) ainsi qu'une structure saine (châssis...).

Le "Rat Rod" est une façon de prendre plaisir à rouler avec une restauration mineur et de ce fait, à moindre coût!...

Not much quite says the 50s like a ratrod! This one I am calling "Yellowjacket". Built for the 59th LUGNuts challenge "Nifty Fifties Daddy-O!"

The owner told us he picked the license plate because the body is a 1932 Ford. I spotted interesting vehicle across from the court house in Greensburg, Indiana.

I may be immune to the charm this kind of stuff has on some people. Is it a good car to drive? I don't know but I doubt it. In fact, looking at the underspec'd brakes, suspension, & tires the educated guess is that it's lousy. But at least it's ugly.
