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.
This 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod showcases its iconic hot rod lines in a two-tone silver and blue paint job. Of course, it’s been given the full hot rod treatment, from exposed wheels sans wheel arches and fairings, to an engine bay that’s exposed on either side. A low windshield and a long stance further accentuate this distinctive look. Although our pictures show the car to be open-topped, we’re told that there’s also a convertible top and side windows so that you can button up when things turn showery or too hot. The interior of this 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod is largely classic-inspired, with its vintage-style gauges, flat dashboard and low-back seats upholstered in black leather. However, there’s one feature that you wouldn’t have gotten in the Thirties – air conditioning. Yes, this car has a Vintage Air set-up for use with the convertible top and windows in place, to keep you comfortable and chilled when required.
This 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod isn’t just about show; it’s also got plenty of go. Under the hood – well, you’ll likely have already seen it via the exposed sides – lies a modern 5.0-liter Coyote V8, keeping things within the Ford family. Here, it’s mated with a 5-speed manual transmission and drives the rear wheels. You’ve also got power steering and 4-wheel disc brakes for a modern experience all round.

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. From a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 from arch-rivals Chevy, to a GM 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission and a plushly reupholstered Fawn Beige leather interior, this hot rod is a fine cruiser that will brighten up the darkest of days.
This 1938 Hudson Terraplane Rat Rod is a bold fusion of pre-war American design and modern hot rod engineering. 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.
