30 Years of HOT ROD Power Tour 

This year’s 30th HOT ROD Power Tour marked the start of a new era for HOT ROD, which celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2023 with the launch of HOT ROD’s digital archives and the HOT ROD Pod: Where It All Began podcast. Founded in 1948, HOT ROD is the most recognized brand in the world of high-performance cars. Due to the continued success of HOT ROD Power Tour, which has traditionally taken place in the Midwest and South, HOT ROD Power Tour West was added in 2023 and returns in 2024. Launched in 1995 by the HOT ROD magazine staff to personally connect with readers, HOT ROD Power Tour is widely considered to be the finest high-end, hot rod–based automotive tour in the world and has solidified its place as the must-attend event for hot rod enthusiasts.   
 
Over the past three decades, this popular event for car and truck lovers has visited 37 U.S. states and covers an average of 1,000+ miles each year. Classics and hot rods travel city to city while performance car lovers and HOT ROD editors and photographers follow alongside the tour, all cruising through small town America like one big family reunion road trip. Participants can join for one day, two days, or all five days. Hot rod culture has defined decades of automotive customization, and now more than ever, hot rod fans are sharing their passion with new generations.
