Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

Sure is the same car! It was parked on the shoulder, working out the last few kinks. Should be at Cruisin National WKC in Santa Maria next month!

 

Thanks Billy.
Yeah, I polished the wheels.
Glad you like my Hemi coupe.
Just kidding. I wish!
This is Rickybop you're talking to. It's not my car. LOL
Has a nice look though, huh?
It's actually for sale here in Michigan on FB.

...another of @abe lugo's captures from VLV. This is no doubt bagged but it reminds me of the salt racers. There was also a well known Dodge Drag Coupe that was real low that also may have inspired such a build. The bias plys really help tie it to the past as well.

The short one is 29/9 and the tall one is 30/1. I think the paint means one or the other, but I’m not positive.

 

I think it is a drilled Ford wheel.

And yes the '32 Plymouth coupe is a looker! There was a "32 Plymouth roadster on our place in Texas that had been my uncles hot rod in the 40s. I used to play in it and day dream of making it my hot rod in the next few years. One day when I got home from school my dad had cut up it and our old '41 Dodge sedan for scrap. Times were tough.

I was out for fish and chips dinner at the Legion in Smiths Falls yesterday and thought it fitting to take the Hotrod being it has a plausible postwar story...that in short was an aircraft repairman came back from WW11 and bought an old car and made a Hotrod...what we see here is it having evolved as many did to 1963...

Anyways it was a great drive and this old building was a great backdrop for this vintage warrior...the building was restored under the watch of Bruce Linton of Tweed, Canopy Growth. Truly amazing what was under that old grey and blackened stone...

A friend sent me this video today and it fits this thread perfectly!

 

...Early Bobber...kinda...this is what helps define the History...there's been a number of early examples but usually from a distance...​

 

I put this on another thread a few days ago, but I think it's more suited here.
An ol fella gave this pic to me last century of a Canadian hot rod he saw in Vancouver when he was training with American and Canadian soldiers in the NZ Army back in 1946. He was stationed up there as well as California. What I didn't realize was he had written on the back as he put it a frame for me. He also managed to get to the very first Hot Rod show in America as well. Unfortunately, he has long since passed. He still drove his beloved 37 coupe to his last days apparently as well. Someone may recognize it. Not Ford, a real oddball. Cheers

 

...definately in a league of its own...a little uppity in the nose department but maybe that's the way they wanted it...a lot of detailing in this one too...

Paging @The Rabid Whippet...I hope he's okay...he's been off for a while...

@deadbeat asked for some help identifying this nicely detailed ride...calling out you old timers in BC ...it was 1947 after all...

 

^^^. Nice rod, guessing ford 6; intake exhaust on passenger side, or maybe flathead but to many exhaust ports

 

From here....

 

Someone’s dream from long ago!

 

Any more pictures of that?

 

M

My dream now!!!

 

I got sidetracked and forgot to post these...
@Stogy -yes these are photos copied and cleaned up from the originals.

 

I just started a separate thread elsewhere asking this same question: Anybody know this car and/or have rear views of it?
