1934 Ford Model 40 Victoria Street Rod

Fords from the 1930s are becoming quite desirable in terms of retromod platforms. With their gangster movie looks and quirky styling, these cars have a sort of allure to them that many enthusiasts of restomods seem to seek. However, it’s not always easy to find a ʼ30s Ford that’s worthy of restomod treatment. Some cars may be too far deteriorated to be restored, others might be lovingly-restored to original form and thus it would be a crime to restomod them. That’s why outfits such as Factory Five exist. Popularly known for their Shelby Cobra replicas, this company also makes replicas of other vehicles. One prime example of their excellent work is this 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod with 6,498 miles on the clock. If you want a car that looks like a ʼ30s Ford that’s been restomodded, but comes with a modern powertrain and convenience features, this New York-based car is your best bet.

Finished in a custom Firehouse Red paint job, it has the stance, sound, and visual drama enthusiasts expect from a proper hot rod, while incorporating the kind of upgrades that make it far easier to enjoy beyond the show field.
