I have two regrets about taking on this CC. One, I couldn’t shoot myself standing in front of it. And two, I won’t be able to do the Model T full justice in the short time available (it would take a book or two). But today is a celebration of sorts: cars for tall folks…

In 2011, the Siermacheskys’ granddaughter, Marley, underwent brain surgery to stop her constant seizures. A few months later, Make-A-Wish Canada provided Marley with a trip to Disney World to grant…

RARE DELUXE ROADSTER, NICE RESTO, GREAT TRIM, RUMBLE SEAT, GREAT DRIVING MODEL A Not all Ford Model A roadsters were created equal. Not only is this one a rare sight because it was not turned into a hot rod, but also it’s the extraordinary Deluxe model that has a more regal appearance. And with the…
For a couple who originally tied the knot and were whisked away as husband and wife in their 1929 Model A roadster, what better way to celebrate 50 years of that blissful wedded unity than giving themselves a “new” 1929 Ford?! That’s precisely what Donald and Karen Greenlee did for their recent 50th, but instead…

Alan Kahan is a longtime street rodder and a longtime friend of STREET RODDER. He recently cruised by the offices in his 1929 Ford Model A roadster. The offices are only a few minutes from Alan’s house, so this trip was a breeze compared to the cross-country treks that have been made over the past…
A CROSS the ditch in En-Zed, Karen Hay is a bit of a drag racing celebrity. She was dubbed the Queen of Speed in 2014 when her Brogie-built 1927 Model T roadster ran 6.629@205.52mph at Tauranga to smash the NZ women’s drag racing record previously held by Faye Grant. SM caught up with Karen at…
One of the first things you notice about this model A is the burly looking, horizontally mounted, semi-truck stacks that run below its Tudor body. There’s a good reason for that-owner Tom Hentschell wanted his latest hot rod to have a unique signature, something that would be different and also act as an attention grabber.…

The 1926 line was billed, justifiably as “the Improved Ford” Perhaps the title was inspired by Chevrolet’s use of the term “Superior”. In any event, fatter tires were only the first of many changes in store for buyers of that year’s model T. Bodies were attractively redesigned. Fenders were new; running boards were lower and…
But the pay hike was something else. By paying a wage that was significantly above what the market required, Ford was betraying his fellow business owners and putting the whole of American enterprise in jeopardy. The Wall Street Journal editorial page, then, as now, a hotbed of revanchism, sniffed: “To double the minimum wage, without…
