Hot rods first appeared in the late 1930s in southern California, where people raced modified cars on dry lake beds northeast of Los Angeles, under the rules of the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA), among other groups.

The first hot rods emerged in the late 1930s and early 1940s, primarily in California. While it's hard to pinpoint a single creator, pioneers like Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and the early members of the Southern California car culture were instrumental in shaping what we now recognize as hot rods. These enthusiasts modified their cars for speed and performance, often focusing on Ford models from the 1920s and 1930s. The trend gained momentum after World War II, leading to the hot rod culture we know today.
