This is what it turned out to be.
It appeared to be a Do It Yourself vehicle.
The driver got out and went around to the passenger side to open the rusty door for his companion.
It took quite a tug to get it open.
The "car" looked even more unique from the rear.
A pretty strange creation.
Rat Rod. 1929 Ford Model A coupe body with Ford pickup box.
ReplyDeleteLike the dual 4bbl's too. The gas tank almost looks like a propane, could it have been modified to run on that?
ReplyDeleteI didn't talk to the driver so I don't know but I was kind of wondering that too. Maybe you should ask Bill (above).
DeleteThe speed limit sign is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteWow, Bill above sure knows his cars!
ReplyDeleteRat Rods are a thing, looked like they are tossed together, but they are pretty well designed and engineered. I talked to a guy with an ancient Chevy pickup, a 39. It was sitting on a Chevy S10 frame, had a LS1 V8, tremec 6 speed, rusty, faded paint, no bed in the back only a box. He said it drove like a new car.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wild ride.
ReplyDeleteYeah, a rat rod, a concept I can't comprehend. They aren't even TRYING to put lipstick on that pig. UGH!
ReplyDeleteI am fortunate to have several car "freaks" who read this blog regularly. They have enlightened me to the term "rat rod". Who-da thunk it?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like quite a contraption. I wonder what type of milage it gets.
ReplyDeleteMakes me wonder how it would do in a crash test.
ReplyDeleteLiked the open sun roof!!!
ReplyDeleteJesus. Is that thing street legal in AZ???
ReplyDeleteWhat a ....(what is the word I'm looking for)....contraption.
