Aside from curing your ADHD, the observation you made is in error. Our, and others' parents utterly neglected us, except in attempting to thrust phony religion at us, while they swilled alcohol and acted brutally then. Rosy retrospection" is a recent psychological term for the confabulations made by elders whose Korsakoff/Wernicke Syndrome induced forgetfulness and dementia,

I was 5yrs old then...this picture really put those times in perspective. Enjoy these oldies and all the Hot Rods...

I love that the "jalopy" has a louvered hood and headers peeking out underneath before anything was done to it. An absolutely delightful film!

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!

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.

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."

This movie scared the crap out of people back then. Loved the California kid with the Brooklyn accent.

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. No disc brakes No wide, low profile tires No seat belts No speed limit

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.

That is The purest form of racing no big budget

"Hot Rods make the world go around" Even if everybody hit the gas at the same time on drag strips facing the same direction, I doubt it. :) What hot rods were,---is an expression of personal and economic freedom, spurring innovation and invention, that we once had when we had the right to personally achieve our dreams, instead of living our lives for the collective state as we are being forced into today.

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.

Love those old flathead Fords!! ;-) That's funny.....I saw this exact same racing scene in another Hot Rod movie a couple hours ago. Same cars, same road, same scene with the motorcycle cop trying to stop them. And isn't that little blond the same gal that played "Penny" on the old Sky King TV series.....Gloria Winters? Sure looks like her. She was an unforgettable little dolly. ;-). 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! Quite a line up here in this show!

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.

Dec.2020😘 i love this movie👏👏👏

This movie was fun

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

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

AWESOME film

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 !

Loved it

I just watched this on TCM last night. How to build a hot rod: 20:24.

Good movie❗️Fun❗️

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

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

By the way my 1940 Ford two door deluxe coupe is 50 years old with me it’s hopped up 327 high-performance tunnel ram 750 Holly all MSD ignition turbo 400 Street shift kit 373 true track posit traction will never sell it. Bought it in 1971 $350 today it’s 50 years old with me! DAGO. Ca

A few bucks under the table could go a long way.

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

the actor who played Swifty I don't know the name precisely but he was in a movie in 1954 called the wild one starring Marlon Brando and Lee Marvin his character was one of the motorcycle gang members called the black Rebels Motorcycle Club and his nickname was Mousie.

It's been a long time since I've seen the wild one but I thought it was the bent rods motorcycle club, and speaking of Swifty, wasn't he also in Stalag 17, it was 17 wasn't it, it's also been a long time since I saw that movie.

He was also in Arnold Schwarzeneggers first film Hercules in New York, BAD MOVIE .they had to dub a different voice for Arnold.

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

Henry Aldrich gets a gig!

AND BUTCH IS STILL UP TO HIS ANTICS!

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

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

I don't know who's voice that is narrating, but i've heard him a lot. He has the distinct ability to make anything he is talking about sound illegal or dangerous.

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

Wow loved it

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

Super Film

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

Damn! Those Nash Ambassadors had a face only a mother could love.

Hot rods forever
