Hot Rods To Restomods
Back in the ‘40s and 50’s the term was Hot Rod. In my opinion that term has lived on and has been synonymous with cars from that era. Over the years we have seen customs, day-two add-ons, low riders and cruisers, Prostreet, and Tuners. Today there are Restomods that get mods, short for modifications. Thankfully there are collector car insurance policies that will cover any of these vehicle types and everything in between.
Here is a nice breakdown;
Hot Rods and Street Rods
Typically pre-1950 American vehicles with large engines, detailed paint jobs and structural modifications.
Resto Mod
Classic vehicles with a modernized drive train and safety features.
Pro-Street
High horsepower vehicles that are tubbed and caged
Custom Cruisers
1960s and newer big-bodied vehicles with 22” rims or 100-spoke wheels, hydraulics or airbag suspensions.
Custom Imports/ Tuners
Generally 1980s and newer Japanese and European cars with performance and/or aesthetic upgrades.
