Flamin' Flathead
Hot Rod Sedan
The "classic hot rod era" started in the late nineteen forties as GI's returned from war and used their talents
to "soup up" cheap cars to improve both looks and performance. Few cars were better suited to customize
with high performance parts and higher horsepower replacement engines than the Model A Ford. Used A's
were abundant; prices were low and parts plentiful. These less expensive cars served long after the Model
"A" passed from being practical transportation. With custom parts that added performance and good looks
custom "A" became iconic symbols for post war America. Even today some of the most popular custom
cars at car shows and classic car auctions are the hot rods of the late nineteen forties and early nineteen
fifties.
The new Minicraft Sedan Hot Rod Flaming Flathead features a hot rod flat head V-8 engine with triple
carburetors, custom exhaust, "racing" rear axle, chrome wheels, white wall tires and lots of chrome
accessories.
