There are lots of ways your mind can go when it hears the words “hot rods”, right? For this collection of 2015 SEMA photos we’re going the way that many people go when they hear those words. To cars of the pre-WWII era that defined the world of awesome cars that we live in today. If it were not for the hot rodder of decades ago there would be no SEMA, there would be no drag racing, and there would be no massive culture of automotive enthusiasts like those that read BangShift. Yes, the styling and looks have morphed and changed over the years but if you don’t look at the photos below and think “hot rods”, you are hanging out at the wrong place.
For cars that were so simple when new, the ones you will see here have been reworked, re-powered, and repainted to the highest levels you can imagine. We’re saying that more than one of these cars qualifies for the vaunted “coach built” status that mere mortals like us could only dream of creating. There are lots of looks, lots of styles, and lots of attitudes in these photos below. Which ones best suit your tastes? Tell us in the comments below!
