Mount Airy may be a spec of a town off of U.S. Route 52 in Surry County, North Carolina, but it was also home to one of the country's preeminent hot rod builders. Founded in 1980 by Donald 'Little Don' Perkins, his no billet policy ensured that he only produced traditional rods and customs, so no high tech styled, pastel heartbeat graphic, tweed interior, fenderless IFS rods here. Little Don may have only stood 5' 3" tall, but his builds were giants that are still prized possessions of those who own them well after he closed up shop and retired in 2015.

If any single shop could be credited with the 'Ohio style' of hot rod design, it would hands down be Lobeck's Hot Rod Parts. Beginning in the early '70s in Cleveland, Ohio, Barry Lobeck designed hot rods and custom parts that would define the new traditional look. From custom-designed rolling chassis to complete hot rods and more parts than you can shake a stick at, Lobeck's did it all for the better part of four decades, leaving a trail of builds that are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
