Amazing that the "Juvenile Court" actually holds the parents responsible for their kid's actions in this movie. Maybe that needs to be brought back in today's world.

Ever since I was a little kid these are what come to mind when somebody said the word Hot Rod 32 Ford.

Honestly this is Perdy much the way it was. Old Airport runways turned into Drag Strips in the middle of no where. The First EVER NHRA GRAND NATIONAL (It's called the "Big Go" by racers and thee Race to win at still by Pro and Amateur alike ) was held at Great Bend Kansas and I grew up in Nebraska and a local guy who was a Machinist/Engine Builder took his girl friend and went....the stories he told me....I was hooked... they had tons of photos and cool old trophies from when he raced and he helped me build my very first real race car as soon as I turned 15 and could get a learner's permit....I went to work nights and weekends to pay for my first 1968 Camaro SS it was a 4 spd car with the L-78 396 in it and was fast as it was but we made it faster and did all sorts of upgrades and new after market parts....I street drove it for about 2 years and decided to just race it and that's where it really all took off for me. Last Combo that we had in it was a 427 with tunnel ram and a pair of 1050 Dominators and a Liberty 5 spd, we kept it as stock looking as was safe to do with the exception of Narrowed 12 bolt rear end and big slicks under the fenders. But as for cutting up or hurting the body.... nope never did it...we swapped out the Steel Front Clip for a Fiberglass one and a Fiberglass deck lid and a set of stock appearing lexan custom made windows but left everything else alone except we put wheel tubs in the back....removed the rear seat ( no one ever sat in it anyway) put a Ladder/Link rear suspension in it and installed a full custom built frame under it. We kept the original front half that came on it from GM though in altered just in case.... anyway on and on and on....we ran a lot of different classes in NHRA before I sold everything and I mean everything but I'm 61 now and still Drag Racing to this day....though now I run 2 cars Both Nova's one is a real 1970 Super Sport that's never been anything but my Race Car it's got a 565 stuffed with all the good parts, a Nitrous Express 2 stage kit on it and the other is a 72 Rally Nova that we race in Street Stock classes so you see where good things can have a positive effect on a young guy who just liked to go fast can do.

I watched this from start to finish. Born in the late 1980's and I don't find this movie corny at all. In fact, this movie is better than today's standards - it's wholesome, with equal mix of drama and comedy. Thumbs up!

In 1950 I saw this movie. I was barely 6 yrs old, and already a fan of HOT ROD magazine. The plot fits a 6 yr old child's interest and the Roadsters (do you know the difference between a Roadster and a convertible?) still excite my interest. At near 4 score years now, I still like Hot Rods with flat-head V-8s. BTW, the big brother in the movie is character actor Myron Healey. He had a long, interesting career. My favorite role he played was the cavalry sgt in LITTLE BIG MAN. The fear he showed as the Indians swept over the remaining soldiers at Last Stand Hill was realistic. I lusted for fast cars my whole life. I never had the money for a "highboy" or a "lowboy."

flat head 8s - pretty cool! My first car was a 37 chevy. Not a hot rod but I loved the musty smell, the grime from the steering wheel, the 3 on the floor. Wonderful old cars - much better than the sterile coffins of today.

Free people do amazing things.

This movie is the reason I have been broke for the past 67 years. I saw this movie and after leaving the theater went right down to the drug store and bought a car book. If I remember right the title was CAR LIFE. If this movie had been about bicycles, would have saved me a lot of money. There was a hard bound book called HOT ROD that came out about the same time. The book was a lot better, and had nothing to do with this corny movie. Author Henry G. Felsen went on to also write STREET ROD and the sequel RAG TOP. All us aspiring hot rodders devoured every word. Incidentally, Felsen's daughter is still selling the HOT ROD book, soft bound. Somewhere on line and I purchased a copy. If I were writing an intro to the book, or the opening scene in a movie, it would go something like this as the letters scroll by on screen: Iowa 1950.

Street Rod came out around 1952. A friend in high school had found it in the library, told me he was reading it and I had to wait anxiously for him to finish, turn in so I could check it out. The book is set in and around Des Moines, Iowa, and that is where Henry Gregor Felsen made his home. Hot Rod was also set in Iowa, and the followup to Street Rod called Rag Top is as well. Rag Top is a Chevrolet convertible, maybe a 47 type that has been modified with a GMC six engine that is owned by a secondary character in Street Rod. That convertible is a big part of Street Rod and the owner of that vehicle is carried over to the follow up Rag Top book. Another book, not by Felsen that made all the rounds of the young car enthusiasts was called THE RED CAR. It is about a boy who gets hold of a wrecked 1949 MG TC and gets it going and enters a race, sorta.

In 1950, young actor and gentle sole Gil Stratton was 12 years away from becoming LA's "The Big News" sports and race tract announcer on KNXTV Channel 2 (now KCBS). He passed away in 2008 at the age of 86. RIP Gil.

Thanks to King Rose Archives for posting this "classic" and to the commenters below and again to King Rose Arch. for all the background information. I feel like I just got a master class in "hot-rodding." :) I'll just add that actor James Lydon had played Henry in the "Henry Aldrich" series in the 1940s, and he's still alive as of this date. And Gil Stratton danced with young Judy Garland in the movie "Girl Crazy" and went on to be a popular radio sportscaster.

Myron Healey, one of my all-time favorite actors, he was all over the screens in the 1950s, often as the outlaw cowboy, gets to play the big brother(I'm not so much older than you, that I can't remember how it was." - LQQKs quite a bit older), and a good guy, sympathetic policeman. He was very adept at playing heroes or villians. This is one of the few times that he was still alive when the movie ended.

Also, at spot 50:00 that policeman giving the ticket is John Hart who temporarily replaced Clayton Moore as The Lone Ranger for one season and later had his own TV show as "Hawkeye" in the TV show "Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans." Another side note is that Hawkeye's co-actor who played the native "Indian" Chingachgook is none other than Lon Chaney Jr who was the "Wolfman" in the old 1930s horror films!

There was a famous car writer called Thomas McAhill if I remember right back around 1950. He wrote for Mechanix Illustrated and monthly books like that. A TV interviewer if I remember right asked McAhill what he thought of the Nash sedan, forget the model name, and McAhill replied, 'It handles like the Queen Mary." Nash was horrified, but strangely, it did not hurt sales. Turns out some people wanted a car that handled like the Queen Mary. McAhill never could figure that one out.

Back when a kid could buy a car for 50 bucks and build himself a hot rod with parts from a junk yard. Now hot rods are owned by old retired corporation owners, because they cost 80 thousand dollars. Imagine delivering papers in a car ! Gas used to cost about 10 - 12 cents a gallon ! And cars ran on real gas - leaded ! I was 2 when this came out, but it wasnt much different during the early 60s . Those really were the "good ol' days". Going to the drive in in one of those little beauties, with your girl. Maaan !

I liked the highly unlikely scenes you'd never see these days, i.e , when they pull him over for speeding while he's running 88 mph and his brother the cop says, "okay I'm going with you" to chase the liquor store theif and after they stop the driver of the fast convertible Caddy the cop tells his brothers buddy, "Hey how would you like to drive this Caddy back into town?"

A TIMING STRIP // COMPLETELY GREAT

My 2 year old daughter and I really enjoyed this.

Those hot rods are pretty cool , but I really got eyes for the Nash Ambassador the police use . One of the best looking cars of the day . ( my opinion )❤😊 Yes I know it looks like a bathtub , but it was very streamlined ,covered wheels , fastback , a 238.2 c.i. engine .

Dec.2020😘 i love this movie👏👏👏

There’s no Hot Rod Girl! It’s a low budget, nicely made little film about street drag racing in the 1950s.

Even the legal racers at the sanctioned speed trials had no roll bars if tney flipped.

Decapitation, was the implementation of the rollbar

AWESOME film

I am 14 and I was thinking about building a hot rod and well… I am sure doing it now!

Gil Stratton plays Swifty. He was in Stalag 17 as Cookie.

This movie was fun

Great Old Time movie, I love the old-time slang, hard to believe that a Ford flathead with only 90 horsepower started at all . And a 32 Ford roadster is still the most sought after car of all time.

I like to think the 1949 OHV Oldsmobile Rocket V8 , started the hotrod scene.

We street raced in Hemet CA. for years, 1970 s and 80 s much fun.

Loved it

Girls are more attractive when they wear nice clothes, stay away from the tattoo shop and do not use vulgar language.

Lousybarber I agree completely. I dumped a couple of girls because they had tattoos. One had them emblazoned up/down her legs. I told they were a turnoff for me... the most unfeminine thing a girl can do.

language i could care less but im not big on tatts on guys or girls. ill never have one. i dont mind one or two on a girl if its nice and simple. i can tolerate that. but man these girls that get them over half there body is not attractive to me.

Good fun. Amazing that 35 year-olds played high school students back then.

That old flathead chasing the Caddy sounded like Steve McQueen's Mustang in Bullet.

that judge reminded me of Bob Barker from the price is right

You've probably heard of 'gow jobs' too.

I like drivin' my hot rod Lincoln, but it's much more fun after I've been drinking'

The decisions made by some people in this movie are baffling. Great chase scenes though!!

These are 5 and 10 cent movies . Im 67 and i did not get to view these. My parents had no $ for this . Wish u was 10 yrs older. I missed all the hot rod fun ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great flick! I street raced a '69 428 cj Mustang back in the day.

Opening credits kinda remind me of the opening credits to the 'Speed Racer' cartoon.
