This chapter provides a historical overview of the development of street rodding and the street rod aftermarket as it developed to serve the needs of rodders from the days of stripped-down Model T-based speedsters through the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s to the American Graffiti period and beyond. Also covered are the many ways one specific car (our '33 Ford roadster, for example) can be built today to satisfy an owner's personal tastes and driving needs.
