Happy Halloween! Time for another Horrorod! If Ralph Nader had a problem with the swing-axle suspension on the back of a Corvair, I can’t imagine what kind of fit he’d throw if he drove this next feature. Here we’ve got a car with pre-war passenger safety standards and a Volkswagen engine hanging out the back. […]
The first Model T rolled off the assembly line in 1908, and over a century later, the Model T stands not as a relic, but as a gothic monument—an iron coffin for the age of craftsmanship, resurrected by sparks and oil. Drive it at night and you’ll feel the past following close behind, its yellow […]
Next week, Las Vegas kicks off the annual SEMA car spectacle, where high-end custom car builders like Chip Foose show off their latest car project builds. This next feature…well…it probably won’t make it to SEMA, but I could easily see it in the parking lot at the annual Reno parade of Wheels, Scooters, and Oxygen […]

Happy Halloween to all DT readers out there: Today is the day when kids dress up as their favorite superhero, young adults dress down in sexy fill-in-the-blank costumes (hey, nice sexy Kim Jong Un outfit lady), and old people subsidize the candy, dental, and insulin industries — a win-win-win for the economy and kids alike! […]

This next thing uses a Chevy 350 V8, ancient Ford suspension, and parts of a coffin to get you and a friend around town in style. Find this 1923 Ford Coffin Car offered for $16,750 in Concord, CA […]
The Mercury Comet was an up-market version of Ford’s compact Falcon sedan but it rode on a slightly longer wheelbase and had a fancier interior. The Comet was initially conceived to be part of Ford’s Edsel lineup, but with the failure of the entire Edsel marque, the Comet was launched to Mercury dealers with Comet […]
This next car is just in time for Halloween. It isn’t your typical horrorod, but in the theme of Halloween, we’ve got a Buick wagon wearing an off-road costume. I like it! Find this 1987 Buick Electra Wagon bidding for $4250 reserve-not-met with 2 days to go, located in Grinnell, IA via eBay. From the […]
