1936 Plymouth Deluxe
Hop in and ride along with us in Bob's...um...I mean Vicki Ford's 1936 Plymouth Street Rod. While Bob was busy working out the performance end of this very cool car, Vicki was hard at work putting her design elements into the project, and the final results are quite impressive. Powered by a Mopar 340 six-pack motor, this rod can handle some serious action off the light. I wonder if they have to fertilize and water those wheels...
