The Need For Speed
This DVD has got it all. Cool cats, beautiful cars, wonderful scenery and lots of dragstrip action. The 1950s were the Golden Age of Hot Rodding, where teens worked on their own cars and burned rubber to prove themselves. You can almost smell the smoking tires and burning oil when you kick back and immerse yourself in these amazing films. When you spend the night watching this DVD, you won't just be spinning your wheels!
Hot Cars On One Sizzling DVD!
The period of postwar prosperity between the end of the World War II and the mid 1950s created a unique environment, where teenagers and young men had the time and money to invest in creating cars that were built for a new type of fun.
At the end of the war, a legion of young men returned to America with cash in their pockets and a sense of freedom and excitement bred by victory. These young men had a "can-do" attitude and a desire to express themselves. Because factories no longer had to be dedicated to the war effort, the American landscape was flooded with new cars. Inexpensive used cars were available everywhere!
That meant that if you had the need for speed and knew how to check under the hood, you could create your own Greased Lightning and zoom through the night!

This DVD has everything you could want if you love American history, classic cars or fast driving!
Inside you will find hours of entertaining footage shot by some of the best production teams of the era. Here is exactly what you will find on this incredible DVD:
Road Runners The first classic clip is about outlaw hotrodders who become law-abiding gear heads after a community organizes supervised racing clubs and timing associations. This film shows us a healthy alternative for boys who loved to drive their cars fast: organized drag racing - a fun way to blow off steam and stay out of trouble.
Producer: N/A Sponsor: N/A Year: 1952 Length: 00:12:34 Audio: Mono Color: BLACK & WHITE
Cool Hot Rod This film, narrated by a teenager, shows how a hot rod club contributes to safe driving through its strict membership rules and restriction of speed runs to sanctioned "drag strips". It is a great piece of hot rod history! We meet young "Bullet Bill" Bowers who at first is a menace to society. By the end of the film he learns about the rules of the hot rod community and sees the error of his ways.
Producer: N/A Sponsor: Sid Davis Productions Year: 1953 Length: 00:26:09 Audio: Mono Color: BLACK & WHITE
Ingenuity in Action Now we move onto what is probably the best clip for the true hot rod fans. It explains how to prepare and enter a car show and gives us a detailed history of the "nomadic tribe of hotrodders".
