Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present
this 1938 Ford Pickup Restomod, an all-steel tribute to timeless
pre-war design fused with modern craftsmanship and street rod
flair.
Draped in a deep charcoal metallic finish, this Ford blends elegant
vintage curves with a refined, performance-oriented stance. The
iconic waterfall grille, teardrop headlamps, and sculpted fenders
pay homage to late-'30s Ford design - while the polished five-spoke
wheels, smoothed body lines, and tucked bumpers reveal its
custom-built personality.
Under the hood, a small-block V8 takes center stage - a cleanly
installed and dressed setup complete with aluminum valve covers,
performance intake, upgraded ignition, and custom plumbing. It's
backed by an automatic transmission, delivering dependable street
performance with the right mix of muscle and manners.
The interior carries the same attention to detail, featuring custom
bucket seats trimmed in black with houndstooth inserts, a polished
aluminum dash, and a full suite of Dolphin performance gauges. The
cab feels tight, clean, and purpose-built, offering the comfort of
modern materials while maintaining a vintage truck's charm.
From its low, confident stance to the mirror-smooth paintwork and
modern touches throughout, this '38 Ford pickup embodies the
artistry of a true restomod - classic form reborn with modern
function. It's a showpiece that's as enjoyable to drive as it is to
display, capturing the spirit of hot-rodding tradition that's kept
these trucks relevant for nearly a century.
