1930 Ford Model A Coupe Hot Rod
A 1930 Ford Model A Coupe Customised Hot Rod, powered by a 1950s De Soto (Chrysler) ‘Firedome’ V8. Registration: “BF 6917”, imported to the UK in 2014. I decided to include both photos of the front and rear of this car, as this Ford was one of my most favourite cars of the event. This is a superb Hot Rod which is representative of a true “of-the-period” custom and reflects what these cars would’ve typically looked like in the 1950s through early ‘60s. This example is not ‘Billet’, nor is it a trailer queen, not overly polished, no blindingly bright paintwork, no cliché flame graphics, no crazy expensive gizmos, no too-fancy wheels, and on the other hand - not a slammed, fake patina’d, cobbled-together Rat Rod, either. A few of the guys at the show agreed on the exact same thing - “not too flash, not so rat”. This ‘rod is just about perfect!”. Seen at the annual ‘Race The Waves’ hot rod racing event opening/registration/scrutineering pre-race gathering on Church Green, Old Town, Bridlington, Yorkshire, UK, 13/06/25.
