Classic cars and hot rods travel city to city, over 1,300 miles, enjoying the people and stops along the way. Presented by Chevrolet Performance, HOT ROD Power Tour is widely considered to be the finest high-end hot rod–based automotive tour in the world, as performance car lovers join HOT ROD editors and photographers cruising through small town America.
HOT ROD Power Tour welcomes all makes and models of hot rods, street rods, custom trucks, muscle cars, and performance machines of every vintage and nameplate. For many, HOT ROD Power Tour is the ultimate vacation with friends and family. Those who travel from start to finish are considered the "Long Haulers," a title they proudly boast.
