The Hotrods of the 50's were power cars. They were big and bold and more powerful than most cars today. In those times, gasoline was something that was very affordable, priced at around 25 cents a gallon. The fact that hotrods of those times were gas guzzlers did bother people much.
Some of the well known hotrods of the fifties were the 1954 Dodge and the 1958 Plymouth Fury. The Chevy and Ford came out with their replies to the hotrods. The Chevy Nomad was one of the most popular cars of the fifties. The Skyliner and the Fairlane were both big, had a sports car look and were equipped with large powerful engines.
Many major car makers had their own version of the 50's hot rods. All of them attained a loyal following that lasts even today, with every classic car fan desiring for a 50's car.
