The Great American Hot Rod: '31 Ford roadster body and frame, Dodge "Hemi" engine, lots of TLC...
A rare '40 Mercury convertible. Candy-apple red paint, a padded white top, a full-race "flathead" V8...this is, if you'll pardon the expression, the whole enchilada, Kustom-wise...
Talking about "low and slow," gotta love this early-'50s Chevy Suburban given the full lowrider treatment. It probably wouldn't be much fun when all eight seats are full, as it can barely get up a driveway without scraping its bottom with only the driver on board...
Finally, a near-stock '58 T-Bird. If you love chrome and convertibles, this one's for you...
Next: a final wrap-up.

I love the 40 Fords and Mercs. There is just something about the way the design came together.
The top--is that what they call a Carson top?
dal -- That's a close approximation of a Carson Top. The real thing -- and I'm old enough to have seen a few, damnit -- was a bit heavier looking. But the idea was the same.
That 31 Ford roadster really grabs me.
Does that mean I am hard core greaser, or redneck?
john -- that's a hard-core greaser car. Get out that tube of Wildroot Cream Oil.
That was actually the car I most wanted to take home. The Stude was second.
