The fundamental nature of hot-rodding has always been a reworking of old parts into something newer and faster. Hot-rodding as a philosophy of building vehicles has existed since before World War I. The earliest efforts of the pioneers who created the automobile strongly resemble hot-rodding, but because they weren't working from used, mass-produced parts, they don't quite fit the mold².
Once those affordable new Fords became cheap used cars, the stage was set for the first era of hot-rodding. Speedsters likely first emerged in the Midwest, where racing on old horse tracks had become a popular pastime. The line between the earliest speedsters and a stripped-down race car would simply have been a matter of lights and license plates².
