When reminiscing on American automotive history, the detour into the hot rod subculture sometimes raises the question: was there one car that started it all?

Frank Morawski of Bel Air, said you can point to three cars that began the entire hot rod movement we enjoy today. Of those three cars, a ‘34 Ford named “California Kid,” a ‘34 Ford known as “Jake’s coupe,” and the ‘34 Ford “Super Bell” coupe, he is the proud owner of the later.
