A classic ʼ30s Ford is an excellent platform for a restomod to be built upon. These iconic cars are synonymous with black-and-white silent gangster films, and their design has subsequently gained a sort of outlaw-ish persona. Then, you’ve got custom builds like this 1932 Ford Model B Roadster “Highboy” Hot Rod by Factory Five that really push the envelope of what’s possible in the restomod world. This rather distinctive vehicle has done just 5,107 miles since its makeover, and currently lives in Daytona Beach, Florida.

It’s almost like something straight out of a cartoon from the ʼ40s or ʼ50s. In fact, it wouldn’t look out of place in the Wacky Races series.

The custom leather interior of this 1932 Ford Model B Roadster “Highboy” Hot Rod features a beige bench seat for two adults, with a custom dashboard adorned with a bevy of Auto Meter Pro Comp gauges.

Ford’s 1932 range was an all-new line-up of three variants, namely Model B, Model 18 and Model 40.

The 1937 Ford line-up hit the streets as a refresh of the preceding Model 48. It was offered in a variety of body styles, and is known as one of the most popular cars for hot-rodding to this day. Case in point, this 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Hot Rod from Coast 2 Coast. Starting off as a 2-door car, this car has been comprehensively hand-formed from a 1939 Ford fiberglass body by Coast 2 Coast, and features a host of enhancements.

Built on a 1971 Chevrolet ¾-ton chassis, this custom creation abandons originality in favor of strength, capability, and unmistakable presence. The rat rod philosophy is fully embraced here, combining an intentionally weathered appearance with serious mechanical upgrades underneath. Powered by a 355ci V8 and riding on modern suspension components, this Terraplane delivers a driving experience that is raw, aggressive, and purpose-built. It is not a restoration, but rather a carefully executed custom hot rod designed to stand apart from conventional classics.
The Ford Model A of 1927 to 1931 was the follow-up to Ford’s famous Model T, that had revolutionized mobility across the world, as well as laid the foundations for many of the automotive industry’s assembly line and mass standardization practices. Many of those advances are still in use today. So, the Model A had a pretty lofty reputation to continue, and it admirably did so. Despite just five model years, over 4.8 million were made, across various body styles. The Model A also came with the standard pedal arrangement for manual transmission-equipped vehicles that we know today, unlike the Model T’s unconventional control layout. Today’s 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Hot Rod is quite different from a regular Model T, though. Well, for starters it only has two pedals because this machine packs a 3-speed automatic gearbox. That’s not all, there’s a 350ci V8 under the hood, a custom paint job, and under 15,000 miles on the clock since this machine got an extensive do-over. If you’d like to acquire this funky hot rod, it’s currently sitting in Yorba Linda, California.
