Rusty Rat Rods & Hot Rods from the 30's, 40's and 50's
By rustyrides
Uploaded April 18, 2008
This gallery serves as a tribute to all those old potential hot rods & rat rods which have been left to rust away by their owners.

Enjoy the photos and flash back to a time when $75 dollars bought you a 1940 Ford Sedan which you could drop some Old’s power in and tear up the streets, or fenders on that T-bucket were the first things to come off and open pipes could be heard miles across town.

Sadly some of the stories received are that the old heaping pile of metal will never see the road again, the only records to tell their stories will be from their previous owners and the photos captured here in this gallery.

A special thanks to all the people who have sent in pictures. We love to hear your comments on these old rat rods and no we don't know where they are, we don't even ask, but you never know, you may get lucky and stumble upon one someday.

Do you have a photo(s) and a story to share with the community? Send your photos, along with a brief description to rustyrides@oldride.com.
