R.C. and Kim’s 1939 Ford Coupe Madison, OH.

I was taking a drive the other day and I couldn’t pass up this shot when I came across this caboose in Grand River, Ohio. This is my 1939 Ford Coupe. I purchased this car in Temperance Michigan at the age of 71 in 2017 from a gentleman’s widow who owned it for 55 yrs. The car was an A/Gasser from 1953 to the mid 60s.Then build into a street rod in 1968. He drove it all over the United States including New Mexico racking up 25,000 miles on the car. The car still carries the paint, wheels and the 350 engine that he put in it in 68. It has it fair share of stone chips and rattles but I wouldn’t change a thing!

John’s 1937 Plymouth PT50 Brunswick, OH.

This is my very rare 1937 Plymouth PT50. I bought this truck in July 2020 as a bone stock all original pickup but l had a vision for this truck. The following month the Hot Rod project began, l can’t drive something with only 70 horsepower! I acquired a 392 HEMI from a 1958 Chrysler New Yorker, four speed transmission from a 68 Roadrunner and a Dana 60 rear-end. I had a pro/street frame built and got busy! With help from many of my friends, the engine was rebuilt and shoehorned into my little half ton truck. Nine months later l had a finished product! The body remains 90% original but the frame and drivetrain give me the ability to drive it anywhere. Thanks to Hot Heads Racing and Research, Koffel’s Place for machining the block and Busy Bee Muffler for the custom exhaust.
