Model ho-T-rod
Contrary to popular belief Hotrodding didn't start in the late 1940s or early 1950s. The craze started earlier, in the mid-1930s. Cars weren't as souped up as nowadays, but the idea of adding of speed equipment certainly took hold. Take a look at this 1927 Model T Roadster Pickup...? That is to say only with your glasses left alone it distantly looks
like a Model T. But then notice the strange radiator, the chopped windshield and top. Next the Studebaker 18 inch wire wheels with custom dual side mounted spares. And underneath it's the same story. Lots of period go-faster goodies like a
Rajo overhead valve conversion; a Zenith down draft carburetor and Simons intake; a
Delco 12 volt generator with oil pump drive and a water pump conversion with non-pressurized radiator. The gearbox has been upgraded to a Warford / Model A Ford-type three-speed transmission with reverse coupled to a two-speed Ruckstell rear differential. And the good news is that this is not a modern rebuilt. It's the genuine article that has been stored for more than fifty years, so it still has
the looks and feel of an authentic pre-war Hot Rod. Only oils, tires, and wiring have been replaced to make it roadworthy. Find it at
Worldwide Auctioneers Auburn Auction, it's lot 25!
