Massive Car Meet Shows Japan’s Big Love For American-Style Hotrods

The Hotrod car scene has always been associated with America, but the recent 31st Annual Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show 2023 showed that the love for US-made automobiles has gone global.

This curious car show focuses on US domestic market cars (USDM), mainly classic cars that have been restored and modified to near perfection. It also boasts a wide variety ranging from custom Harley Davidsons, choppers, drag-spec Ford Model T builds, and American-flavored Japanese branded rides.

The video below focuses on the highlights of the auto show. Right off the bat, a gorgeous yellow-tinged Buick LeSabre gives us a kickstart. This is Shige Suganuma’s car, the owner of the auto show.
