This is no rat rod. This nostalgic looking roadster is finished in Glasurite satin black paint, not primer, so it will never fade or blemish. Slant back windshield and it is fitted with a custom black top built on a Speedway stainless steel frame.

The seats are covered in distressed cowhide leather, with a customized Lokar shifter that is topped by a skull knob with Indian head nickel as the push button.

This one of the nicest riding and handling hot rods I have ever driven, and one of the nicest and well built, Model A roadsters. It runs well, handles well and the 700R shifts like it is supposed to.The Tri-Power with progressive linkage is dialed just right.There is plenty of trunk space. It averages 22 mpg on the freeway.

Built to drive, this is a car that is as dependable as a new car, and more fun than cars costing more than twice as much.
