My granddad built this car about 17 years ago, he actually finished it right after he retired. This is not my car because when he passed away he left t... Show morehe car to my uncle, but i decided to make a page for it anyway because I am the one who maintains it. He didn't want to make it a hotrod cause he liked them just the way they were. It is not a numbers matching car but it does have a '38 model 85hp flathead V8 in it. The car is originaly a 85hp flathead V8. The car didn't have a motor when he got it, but it is still the original transmission in it. Its still the original 3 on the tree. The car has no modifications other than a 12 volt chasis system but it still has a 6 volt ignition. It also has a small auxillary electric fan just to help with cooling in traffic. It still has the mechanical fan but we just cut the electric one on in traffic, which isn't very often cause the car is not drivin in traffic very much. This car is great to just cruise around in, so we don't like to drive in traffic with it. This car is definatly an attention getter. The car does not have blinkers, and it is amazing how many drivers on the road do not know arm signals. Everytime you stick your arm the window to give a turn signal, other drivers just wave back then get pissed when you turn. Show Less
