Hollywood Hot Rods, Keepin' It Real, Old School Style

History Reimagined: We test drive Hollywood Hot Rods' 1932 Ford



Troy Ladd of Hollywood Hot Rods makes the closest thing to the original that I've ever driven. What's more, he builds them like works of art that are composed of individual works of art

Ladd needs 1.5 years to build such a barely anything, and art is expensive – $100,000 is a starter kit price. The $220,000 MSRP of the hot rod we drove is worth a Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2 with a few options, but the two aren't remotely comparable. Hollywood Hot Rods delivers what no Lamborghini can: the fifties itself,resonating Hitchcock and Brando and Eisenhower, Peanuts cartoons and Playboy, the space race and the very first McDonald's, and, yes, long braking distances.
