The growth of car industry in Japan was caused by a knockdown production in the United States and soon Japanese engineers and designers started to produce and export great cars with their best effort.
To learn about Hot Rod, it not only to know American car or custom culture, but it also leads to study about the roots how we get into vehicles or its culture deeper and deeper.
The 15th HRCS was held here in Japan where many great car companies exist. Do you know what I am saying!?
日本の自動車産業の発展は、アメリカ車のノックダウン生産から始まったものだ。
そこを起点に日本人は、数々の努力を積み重ね素晴らしい車を世界に送りだした。
HOT RODを知る事は、日本人が単なるアメリカの自動車文化を知るだけの事ではない。
それは、自動車文化そのもののグラスルーツを辿る道へと繋がる。
世界屈指の自動車大国日本で、今年で開催15回目を迎えたHRCS。
その意義を軽んじてはいけない。
PROFILE
Wolfgang Honecker. The vocalist, the guitarist and the founder of the legendary heavy metal band MGFT.
It is just a coincidence that on Friday 13th of February, 1970, the same day that Black Sabbath made their debut as the first heavy metal band in the world, Wolfgang Honecker was born in Berlin, the capital city of the former East Germany. He was a quiet child and not really that much different from the other kids at school.
