Vehicle Description
The Street Rod scene is popular for a bunch of good reasons. You
get vintage character on the outside and modern comforts on the
inside. Add in some current tech for performance, dress it up for
the show, and you have a car you can join your friends with on
cruise nights and collect a few trophies for the display case along
the way.
This '36 cuts a classic line from tall chrome grill perched on the
front of a narrow, piano hinged hood to the gentle curve of the
trunk as it flows gently down toward the ground. A Chevrolet badge
graces the center of that grill and on top is a hood ornament that
leads the way as you fly down the road. Individual headlights are
perched on either side of the hood just over the separate fenders,
which are another charming feature of 1930s styling. The tall cab
of the car cuts a smooth line up and over the roof and then down
over the trunk which provides lots of interior and luggage space.
Torch Red paint catches the light reflecting it back nicely along
all those curves and also highlights the chrome of the door
handles, headlights and grill nicely. A wide black running board
connects the front and rear fenders and custom taillights keep the
look clean.
Open the door and you will find a Tan and Red interior that
compliments the vintage looks of the outside with stunning custom
touches and modern conveniences on the inside. The billet steering
wheel is almost certain to grab your attention first. It is quite a
work of art and sure to start some conversations at the shows. It
sits on a column that tilts with a shifter for the automatic
transmission which is always a nice upgrade. Behind it is a chrome
panel with Auto Meter gauges set into it to keep track of speed and
critical engine functions. Along the bottom of the dash are
controls for the A/C system that will keep you cool on those hot
summer days and a Sony stereo with speakers mounted in all corners
of the cabin for your listening pleasure. Bucket seats are
comfortable and beautiful covered in leather with a textured
seating surfaces and smooth side bolsters. A full tan headliner and
tan carpeting complete the look of this interior nicely.
Raising up the sides of a piano hinged hood is fun in itself, and
when you do, you get a clear view of the eye candy inside from both
sides. The Z28 Camaro motor set down in this engine bay is dressed
for the show with chrome valve covers, air topper, and accessories
like the brake master cylinder and booster, alternator and A/C
compressor that shine bright and reflect off the polished paint of
the firewall and underside of the hood. It all looks awesome! The
chromed shorty headers have some wonderful color to them that comes
from pumping out some horsepower and the exhaust has a nice
rumbling sound to it. An aluminum radiator with an electric fan
keeps the temps under control and the power flows back through a
4-speed automatic trans to the back wheels mounted on leaf springs.
Power rack and pinion steering makes this car handle well and power
front disc brakes provide great stopping ability. The rubber meets
the road through 205/70R15 tires mounted on chrome 5-spoke alloy
wheels.
Vintage good looks. Modern tech for comfort and performance and
lots of chrome dressing up the engine! Come on down and check out
this sweet ride out.
