1923 Ford Model T: Death Becomes Uncle Rod

A special trailer for a special car!

Good old Rod had a full life. Now, he gets driven around from place to place.

First and foremost, a T-Bucket is defined by its engine. In this case, it’s a: 283-cubin inch Chevrolet V8 that develops about 200 horsepower.

Modern and retro go hand-in-hand!

These gauges sure are nice.

It goes without saying that this pair attracts attention!

Two roomy seats, no top, little or no fenders to speak of, a big engine, big wheels and a radiator like on the Ford Model T: that’s a T-Bucket, a kind of Hot Rod.

This car may be perceived as a toy for fans of unusual cars.

You can see the shape of a Ford Model T radiator.

More comfortable in town than on the highway, this replica of a 1923 Ford handles rather well.

Anyone that has already been behind this car will remember for a long, long time!

You can’t really see it very well, but the transmission is a four-speed automatic.

Uncle Rod had this huge beer in his empties – now it’s used as an antifreeze recovery tank.

Two crosses that are very different from one another...

Now that’s a tire! In back, there are 18-inch tires. In front, they are 3.5 inches wide; those of the coffin are 12 inches.

En lieu et place d'un coffre, on retrouve le réservoir d'essence.
