It was 1952 when a group of rowdy teenagers fond of street racing their hot rods decided that they should alter their ways. On August 5, 1953 the Ty-Rods Car Club was formed in Cochituate, MA. before relocating to Concord, MA. Today, after 73 years of history, we continue thriving as a passionate car club dedicated to hot rods, customs, and racing – celebrating the thrill of automotive culture.
