Description

Probably the ride that started it all, the Ford Model T, circa 1915-1927, affectionately dubbed the "T-Bucket", was the original souper-upper, with early 4-cylinder mills, quickly into the the 19, 21 & 24-stud flathead V8s from the Model As & Model Bs,then GM small blocks, Ford, GM & and the odd Chrysler 2nd & 3rd generation 8s on into the "Over-4" era (409s, 421s, 427s, 442s, 454s & the like).

They were the favorites of the street-rod and serious dragster set, even holding their own through the 70s/80s muscle-car utopia, and still are loved (there may be more kit-car repros, mostly plastic, out there than original all steel magnet-grabbers).
