Thread: Help me identify some hot rods...

I think you would like the cars of the late '30s, as this was a time of art deco styling. You might also like the fastback styled Chevy Fleetline, and Buick torpedoback of the very late '40s, very early '50s.

Unless you are well funded, something like a Delahaye would be out of reach, and also very hard to find.

You could explore the kit car market for things like the replica Cord roadster and others from the '30s.

You might Google the term "boat tail speedster", to see if this is the style you like.

Another option would be to find a car similar to what you are visiualizing, and have someone do concept drawings for possible restyling. This type of bodywork will not be cheap, unless you are a skilled metal fabricator, so if the budget is limited, this may not be a choice for you.
