This 1930 Ford Model A Hot Rod looks the part of an \u201cold school\u201d custom build. And when you see the steel body with glass fenders, you start to understand the difference when someone takes the extra time and investment to bring back that old school look and feel.<\/p>\n

The more you look at this, the more you understand how thoughtful the build really is. For example, a classic hot rod would often just be finished primer, and so the blue patina color pays tribute to that. Of course, you can see they did a lot of work on this steel by adding a steel top, so you get a true hot rod stance.<\/p>\n

There’s an elegance in the simplicity of a hot rod interior. There’s not much to it, but it sets the tone right for a driver’s atmosphere. And that’s why this also has upgrades like new gauges.<\/p>\n
