The 1933 Studebaker Rockne Hot Rod Supercharged is a striking fusion of prewar elegance and custom performance engineering. Powered by a 289ci Supercharged V8 with a McCulloch supercharger mated to a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission, this build embodies both vintage character and hot rod muscle. Its Black Cherry exterior with suicide doors and aftermarket chrome wheels provides a bold presence, while the Lincoln Navigator seats and gray interior add comfort and refinement. Modern upgrades like Mustang II front suspension, electric front brakes, and power steering make it far more approachable than its 1930s origins would suggest. This Rockne retains its historic charm while offering the performance and usability to be enjoyed on today’s roads, standing out as a rare and charismatic custom build.
Finished in a rich Black Cherry custom paint job, this 1933 Studebaker Rockne Hot Rod commands attention with its sleek, modernized take on a prewar classic. The custom touches are tastefully executed, including suicide doors, side steps, and a dechromed exterior that highlights the car’s smooth lines. A Mustang II front end modernizes the stance and improves drivability, while aftermarket chrome wheels further enhance its street rod character. Together, these elements create a bold yet elegant look that blends 1930s charm with contemporary flair. Open the suicide doors and step into a custom gray interior that combines hot rod personality with modern comfort. The cabin is fitted with upgraded Lincoln Navigator seats, providing a surprising level of support and refinement for long cruises. Complementing the upholstery are custom door panels, a bespoke center console, and an aftermarket sound system that updates the driving experience without sacrificing vintage appeal. A billet steering wheel and modern gauges round out the cockpit, ensuring the driver can keep close tabs on the performance of the supercharged V8 under the hood.
Beneath the hood of this 1933 Studebaker Rockne lies a rebuilt 289ci Studebaker V8, topped with a period-correct McCulloch supercharger that adds both performance and authenticity to this hot rod’s character. Unlike many modernized builds, this Rockne retains its roots with a vintage Studebaker powerplant, enhanced for drivability rather than excess. Supporting upgrades include electric front brakes for confident stopping power and power steering for improved maneuverability. Delivering its output smoothly to the rear wheels is a robust Turbo 400 3-speed automatic transmission, ensuring reliable performance and an effortless cruising experience. The result is a thoughtfully executed blend of old-school charm and practical upgrades that make this Rockne as enjoyable on the road as it is admired at shows.

The 1964 Studebaker Challenger was the entry-level midsize model in the South Bend automaker’s lineup, offering understated styling and dependable mechanicals at an affordable price. Today, it represents a rare sight on American roads, appealing to collectors of orphan brands and enthusiasts of mid-century design. This example, finished in blue over a matching blue interior, has been repainted in its original color and is reported to remain largely original, preserving the authenticity that makes it special.
Studebakers are among the more under-appreciated classics of the 1940s and 50s. With distinctive styling and fewer survivors than their counterparts from the “Big 3”, a classic Studebaker is a very desirable car to own. The Champion was produced from 1939 to 1958 across 5 generations. The 3rd generation (1947-52) was the last full-size Champion (the later models were mid-sized). It was available as either a 2- or 4-door sedan, a 2-door convertible or a 2-door coupe (the station wagon version never made it past the prototype stage) and captured the market well, accounting for over 65% of Studebaker sales in its first year.
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.
The 1940 Ford range came in various body styles, including two and four-door sedans, coupes, convertibles, station wagons, coupe utilities and even a utility van. Typically, in Ford parlance, the term Tudor referred to a two-door variant, usually a sedan or station wagon. So, as you can glean, this 1940 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan Hot Rod is a two-door machine, but that’s not all. You see, this Morgan Hill-based car has received a thorough makeover, including a more potent powerplant, a searing red coat of Viper Red paint, a refurbished interior and so much more. Plus, it’s traveled just 3,150 miles since then, making it a fine vintage Ford to add to your life, especially as it’s pretty comfortable and easy to drive with all those upgrades under its belt.
Vintage Fords and Chevys make for some cool hot rod builds. That’s because they’ve got style, substance, and infinite abilities as a blank canvas. Take this 1934 Ford Model 40 Deluxe Tudor Sedan Hot Rod as a prime example. With its 350ci V8, automatic gearbox and custom ultra-leather interior, it’s also got plenty of style on the outside to admire and appreciate. If you’d like, this machine from The Acreage could be yours, and it’s done just 7,229 miles since its comprehensive rebuild.
