1951 Bonneville short film: the way it really was


Recommended Posts

For anyone interested in the true history of hot-rodding and the way it really was back in the post-war years, this short silent film in a must-see. Several of the famoso cars of the day appear, as well as a host of unknowns. No fat-cat poseurs, no rat-rod poseurs, no air-conditioned semi-trucks full of support equipment. Just talented, motivated, skilled guys building fast cars from junk, learning as they went, and working up a sweat in the process. Pure non-commercial racing, with heart and soul.
