Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposes
Photograph caption dated August 18, 1954 reads "Does a hot rod menace face San Fernando Valley? Is there, as many charge, a 'hot rod problem?' If so, what is it--and how how (sic) can it be met? To what extent has hot rodding infiltrated the San Fernando Valley? Where did it come from and what, if anything, are we doing about it? Read the answers to these and other questions on the sizzling hot rod issue, in a San Fernando Valley Times series beginning tomorrow on this page."
