1925 Duesenberg 8 Speedway Roadster





Built by the Duesenberg brothers in 1925, it was given to driver Peter DePaolo, who zoomed his way to victory at the Indy 500, setting a new average speed record of 101.13 miles per hour, which held up for seven years. The engine measured 121.3 cubic inches with a supercharger thrown in that could produce 225 horsepower. This car was on the auction block and expected to fetch $200,000-$275,000, but blew that estimate out of the water, going for a cool $352,000

 

Winged Rod

By now you’ve probably noticed that half of this car is missing.
That’s when you realize it’s not a car at all, but a wild rat rod.
With the front one third giving off the look of a classic hot rod,
this Frankenstein-esque creation turns head with the rear two-thirds of a 1950s Chevrolet Bel-Air.

For many Americans, drag racing was synonymous with the 1950s,
and the Bel-Air was a huge part of that era, selling 1.7 million units in 1953 alone.

 

1927 Ford Model T

The Ford Model T saw its final days in 1927, with the last ones rolling off the line on May 26 of that year.
Even in the early days, people took these cars apart to build custom tractors, ice saws, and threshers.
Its all-terrain toughness and durability make it into a viable rat rod even headed toward its 100th birthday.
