The American Teenage Hot Rod, A Documentary Film by Greg Wolske, Lasso Productions
"THE AMERICAN TEENAGE
HOT ROD"
A short documentary film by Greg Wolske
The teenage hot rod was a twentieth
century American phenomenon. From the jalopies of the 1920's to the muscle cars of
the 1960's, teenage boys chopped, channeled, and hot rodded the cars of their
dreams. This short documentary film commemorates the teenage hot rod experience.
Several hot rod enthusiasts share both their memories and their hot rods with the
filmmaker. The interviews are informative, entertaining and at times, quite
humorous. This high quality 16mm film production beautifully captures the glass like
finishes and details of the many hot rods photographed. The filmmaker has also
included clips of vintage film footage from his own private collection. The film
opens with a unique collage of footage edited to the Collins Kids, 1950's song "Hot
Rod". This documentary is a tribute to the hot rodders that influenced entire
generations and helped shape our culture. Teenage backyard mechanics significantly
changed the entire automobile industry. Many went on to become designers, inventors
and automobile/race car industry leaders. Today, with the advent of expensive,
emission controlled, high-tech automobiles, the teenage hot rod has all but disappeared.
