There are tons of historic spots around Southern California that impacted hot rodding, racing, and custom car building over the last 80 years or so, but no matter how many you can think of there are hundreds more. I was going to say dozens, but that just won’t cover it. Not by a lot. Having been fortunate enough to see many of them with David over the years, and having heard the history from so many during my time living there, I can tell you that they are nearly everywhere you look. Los Angeles, and the surrounding areas are a hot bed at a level you just can’t understand without spending a lot of time there.
I know you’ve heard me say it before, but this time let’s watch Freiburger cruise around SoCal to see some of his favorite historic hot rod spots in and around Los Angeles.
