Rockabilly Hot Rods To Add To Your List
Whether you like building or designing your own hot rods or you want to hire a rod shop to do all of the work for you, there is nothing more iconic than the Rockabilly lifestyle. Back then, times were simpler, rock and roll was king, and it was the golden age for automobiles and hot rods. While the age of Rockabilly is gone, the cars still exist today and are still super trendy. Here are a few rod shop projects to consider.
1957 Cadillac Coupe De Ville
In the 1950s, Elvis actually bought a few Cadillacs. Because of how popular Elvis was, you can only imagine how sales soared for Cadillac. One of Elvis's most memorable cars was the Pink Cadillac. If you aren't a fan of pink, there are a whole array of colors options and materials to use on a car like the 1957 Cadillac Coupe De Ville.
Milner’s 1932 Ford Coupe
Automobiles have always been and will always be popular for certain time periods because of who is driving them or where the cars are seen. The Milner’s 1932 Ford Coupe was and is one of the most iconic cars seen in the 1973 film called American Graffiti. In the movie, the Milner’s 1932 Ford Coupe was originally yellow with black accents.
1957 Buick Roadmaster
The 1957 Buick Roadmaster was actually considered a luxury car back in its time These days, the classic Roadmaster can be completely customized with both external and internal aesthetics and performance upgrades.
1949 Mercury Tail Dragger
Not only was the Mercury Tail Dragger considered ultra-cool in 1949, this is a car that will turn heads and have jaws dropping today. If you are going to drive this bad boy around though, it might be best to consider playing some Jerry Lee or Elvis on the radio. Then again, if you go to a rod shop they can do a modern take and even add a CD player.
While the most synonymous color for the 1949 Mercury is black with white wall tires and chrome detailing - you could use just about any color theme for it. Red might be nice, or perhaps deep blue.
Ford Model T hot rod
When you think of the American Auto Scene, specifically hot rods, you HAVE to think of the Ford Model T hot rod. It might not be the prettiest car in the lineup, but it has a history. One of the most popular modifications for the Ford Model T hot rod is to remove the older engine and add a V8. You can also add some white wall tires and steelies for the rims.
Again, the most common color theme for this car is black.
