Most people think of cars as a way to go from point A to point B, but to a real hot rodder, it’s much more. We are not talking about the little rich boy that daddy just gave the new Corvette to, or the yuppie lawyer that drives his Mercedes around like its an extension of some other body part.

This bad ass ’53 Lincoln is a mixture of old school taste and attitude that is nothing short of something from the “California Kid” in its flat suede paint, cruising on air ride suspension. With a twist of the key, the exhaust rumble that puts you in a zone making you one with the car. The car, though not perfect by any means, is to its owner. The air ride suspension raises the car to a healthy ride height for cruising. A true hot rodder will tell you, there isn’t any drug that can replace the feeling tbey get when behind the wheel just cruising, and at that moment, everything feels right in the universe.

Watching the video reminds us just how this guy feels every time he drives this car, hell I bet even Johnny Cash would approve. Hot rodding is one of those things,” That if you don’t get it by now, you never will.”
