The Top 10 Hot Rods of 2008

The top 10 hot rods of the year, as voted by the HOT ROD staff. Plus, the HOT ROD of the Year.John Dixon</br>'56 Volkswagen</br>July Issue</br>We started referring to it as the Squashed Bug because that's what it looks like, but builder Franz Muhr and owner John Dixon call it Death since there's a high degree of probability that it'll eventually take someone's life. Franz chopped, sectioned, and slammed this Bug so much that it's only 36 inches tall at its highest point-4 inches shorter than the original GT40 race car. It's so squat that other cars, particularly big trucks, often can't see it. Why on earth is it a Top 10 car? Because it's the most outrageous thing we saw the entire year, it actually runs and drives (long distances, too), and nothing-and I mean nothing-will get more attention on the road than this thing. -Rob Kinnan
