Business Advertising Information
and Company Overview

       Founded in 1999 by owners Jack and Mary Ann Lawford, Hotrodhotlne.com has grown from it’s beginnings as a “Cars for Sale” site to become the largest online magazine in the field. The focus at Hotrodhotline.com is on providing an online source for the Pre 76 Car Enthusiast offering Industry and Product News, Vehicles and Parts for sale, Product and Vendor Information, Shop Tours, Build articles, Car Show Coverage, Event Listings and a huge Technical Section hosted by our own   HotRod M.D., Jim Clark, who was the first Editor of Streetrodder Magazine.

     Since it’s debut, Hotrodhotline.com has grown through it’s strong commitment to promotion, to achieve  visitorship levels numbering in the many thousands per day and an amazing 3+ Million +  page views per month. This means we are what is referred to as as “sticky site”... it means our visitors remain at the site for extended periods of time. Achieving this level of visitorship is due to two things; We maintain an aggressive campaign of promotion in print, internet, show exhibits, and donations to car clubs...... and secondly, our content is updated daily to keep it  fresh and new.
      Our commitment to growth is second only to our commitment to Customer Service.  Our office is staffed with knowledgeable people who are there to help our visitors and our advertisers with any of their needs.  It is through input from our visitors and customers that we have been able to evolve into the publication that exists today and we continue on that path.
     Although the internet is relatively new to the “car crowd”, it has exploded in popularity in recent years and more and more enthusiasts are using the internet as their main source of information about products and services they need. As the oldest and largest site for the hobby, Hotrodhotlne.com is also the most heavily visited in the field.   When you are looking for a product or service ..... WHERE DO YOU LOOK ???    Most will say  “the Internet”  and your customers look there too...

   This is how it all began ...  a small booth in Louisville in 1999 .. check out those huge monitors we were dragging around !    These were two of the very few car guys we could get to stop and look at our computer screens...  we think it may have been that we were giving them a place to sit for a minute...  WOW... How Things have changed !   
    In the years since  Hotrodhotline.com  began, those  car guys and gals have come to embrace the Internet like we knew they would .. and Hotrodhotline.com  has been there all along to help them and to give them the news, and entertainment they wanted.   We have grown from just a handful of visitors back then to many thousands of Visitors per day.

Our presence at car shows around the country has changed a bit since then.  We now have some of our staff members accompany us so that they can meet the people they talk to on the phone and email with all year.  It’s a nice way for our visitors to get to know us and the staff and it continues that presence that we work so hard to maintain.  We have a fully staffed office with personnel dedicated to each section of our publication.   Any of our visitors or vendors who need help can reach someone who is there to assist them.

     In recent years we have added to our portfolio of publications.   Because there is somewhat of a crossover between car enthusiasts and motorcycle enthusiasts,  in 2008 we added  a publication for Motorcycles,  www.Bikerhotline.com     The response was phenomenal and we expect great things from this publication.  We offer discounts for companies who advertise in both publications. 
     We are also involved in maintaining the history or our industry through an association with the Society of Landspeed Historians and our site www.LandspeedRacing.com     This is a non-commercial site dedicated to the preservation of our industry’s history
