Sixteen-year-old Ricky Madison is the only boy in Dellville without his
own hot rod, and he is tired of bumming rides from his friends. Going
against his parents' wishes, he uses his savings to buy a car of his
own: a junker that he is determined to turn into the fastest, sleekest
racer on the road. Wild nights of highway racing, pranking unsuspecting
drivers, and competing with his buddies quickly turn the town against
him and the other teenage drivers. But Ricky has an idea that will
redeem himself and his friends in the eyes of the town, all while
showing them how far he can really go with his coupe.
Street Rod captured the heart and soul of 1950s hot rod culture. This
carefully crafted edition presents the beloved story of Madison's
hard-driving path to rodding redemption. Dig in and learn what millions
of readers already know; the world's most popular hot rod series is a
hopped-up high-horsepower thrill ride.
