There are many collector car tires, but very few can match the vintage look of Coker tires.
The Coker Tire Company continues to develop new products, adding more custom options in its catalog. The company’s latest product is the G78-15 bias-ply tire, which is a four-ply polyester tire.
This American innovation is suited to OE guidelines, allowing for easy installation. It is perfect for restorations and custom applications.
The G78-15 bias-ply tire has an extra wide whitewall, which would be perfect for any hot rod.
Researchers have engineered a super small nanodragster that improves prior nanocar designs, which could accelerate the evolution of molecular machines.
“We made a new version of a nanocar that looks like a dragster,” explained James Tour, a chemist from Rice University. Tour participated in study and says that the hot rod design has smaller front wheels on a shorter axle and bigger back wheels on a longer axle.
The small vehicle is about 50,000 times thinner than a human hair and is powered be powered by heat or an electrical field.
Now who would not to love this clean, sleek 5 window 1935 Chevy coupe? This vintage hotrod really is one of the classic beauties from the line of hotrods, and from the looks of it, it really is one of the most distinguished because of its charm.
The Chevy coupe is painted in orange with white vinyl interior. The car itself is now up for sale in Sierra Classics and Imports located at Reno, Nevada and is now beautifully restored to its timeless charm. The said vintage hot rod is now shown to the public.
One of the car’s distinctive features is its subtle detailing like its chromed hood vests, its 1959 Impala steering wheel. nd 4×2 intake topped with 97’s. Period correct bits like the chromed generator, 3 speed tranny, Pontiac taillights, and the big number SW gauges give this baby the right late 50s feel.
The parallel leaf front suspension is still intact, but hidden by the car’s stock fenders and generously dropped axle, bringing that classic California rake into focus. But the real icing on this ’small block orange’ cake is the ‘57 Olds motor under the hood. However, the downside of this hot rod is the use of the 283 Chevy motor while the car can use the 371 cubic inches Golden Rocket on its engines.
Here are the 1932 Chevrolet 5-Window Coupe Vintage Hot Rod’s specs:
The International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) has recently announced that its Top Sportsman and Top Dragster will be featured during the professional elimination rounds at all Nitro Jam events in 2010.
Since the 1970s, the IHRA and Sportsman Drag Racing have worked together and in 2010 the relationship will come into fruition in 2010 as the IHRA will try to give back to its roots and placing its fastest sportsman classes at the stage they deserve.
Nitro Jam will showcase the first round of the main event eliminations during the professional rounds on the first round of the main event eliminations during the professional rounds on the first event day. The organizers have also created an “Elite 8” program for the top qualifiers in each of the classes, which will take place during the second day of the event.
“Figuring out who has the quickest car in their class is what drivers live for. Bracket racing is fun and provides a level playing field for everyone, but there is just something magical about letting these competitors take the gloves off to see who has the baddest car on the property,” explained Skooter Peaco, VP of Race Operations. “It is interesting that, even with the many changes that have been made over the past year, we would take a page out of the IHRA history books.”
Benedict Radcliffe has spent five months building a Lamborghini Countach hot rod, which he hopes to sell for £40,000.
The model is 6ft wide, 14ft long and is made from steel rods that are as a little thicker than a pencil.
“The Lambo allowed me to use all the skills I have learnt from my previous work as an architect, fabricator and artist,” said Radcliffe. “It uses really complex curves and was a real labour of love.”
Radcliffe is a qualified architect, who spent several weeks developing blueprints for the model. He even custom-designed the car to make room for Pirelli tires.
“It is an iconic car and people are intrigued by the idea of turning something so fast into a wireframe model that goes nowhere,” said Radcliffe. “When people saw it on the streets of London they jumped all over it and got inside. I was astonished because they would not treat a real car in that way. I would love a real Lambo but I’m not brash enough. They get a lot of attention when they are being driven around and I’m too shy for that.”
The original Lamborghini Countach was built from 1974 to 1989.

General Motors (GM) is going to manufacture a hot rod station wagon, according to the company vice chairman Bob Lutz.
The upcoming hot rod wagon will be 556-horsepower CTS-V version of the new Cadillac luxury hauler. This was confirmed by Lutz to Car and Driver Magazine.
Analysts say that it will only be a simple manufacturing process, and it could claim a sizable piece of the target demographic. However, it will not help GM’s campaign for fuel economy.
Auto reviews say that the CTS-V sedan has a powerful engine and can go from zero to 60 miles in less than four seconds. The wagon version of the vehicle also has a unique appeal.
You’re staring at a phenomenal piece of engine artistry, the Ford Deuce. It is the first hot rod to sport the legendary V8 engine. In fact, the Deuce was called Model 18, because of its engine—“1” stood for “first” and “8” stood for “V8”.
