1956 Oldsmobile Holiday 88 – Extra Credit

Some years ago, back in the day of competitive publishing houses, the term “custom rod” was coined and applied to a particular style of post-1948 automobile. In short, though in and of itself those two words together had been used in the past in varying applications, it was used to describe what was perceived to be the “modern street rod”. But it didn’t always get translated as such, oftentimes receiving quite negative responses. To me, it was just a phrase, but obviously, not everyone saw it as I did—nor did they have someone pushing it upon them with such internal vigor as to nearly force a particular acceptance. Nevertheless, I got it, regardless how I personally felt.
