Custom Ford Model T and Trailer
To celebrating 77th anniversary of Hot Rodding the T-Bucket. In 1959 Gerald Lloyd "Kookie" Kookson gave the American kids the new thing, “The T-Bucket Roadster.” Thanks to the TV show Sunset Strip, a new way of talking and the T-Bucket took over the streets. This craze was fueled by the 1957 issue of Life Magazine featuring the Kookie T. From this moment on the “T” became fashionable for the terminally cool! From the Dry Lakes, to circle tracks, and the streets, if you did drive a T-Bucket you were with it.
There is no other “T” build like this one. A true custom statement built by Washington’s famed custom build shop, “Street Roads by Denny.” Take one look and you’ll know this is a true top end show build. The under carriage is sparkling in gold paint. This beauty was made to place mirrors under her at the shows. The running boarders are made to be used. The body has working doors. The Inca Gold paint takes on its own life in the natural sunlight. The stripping was done by Bob Davidson another WA custom car treasure. The black canvas top is easily removed. Two wing nuts, and two side nuts...done! In just moments you have an open roadster!
The white interior is very comfortable and stylish. The upholstery was done by Jasper’s Custom Auto. A tilt steering wheel for easy entry and exit. An array of gauges by VDO that include fuel, 0-120 mph, temp, oil pressure, and a clock! A Jensen stereo system with MP3, ESP, and a 10-disc CD changer.
Power is a Ford 302ci built by Bob Morran Sr. of Wells St. Garage. The 302 has a defiant growl. No lack of power! Matched to a C4 automatic transmission and a Ford 9” Posi rear end. Fuel cell and an Optima battery. Stopping power is thanks to front disc brakes and rear drums.
The “T” comes with a matching trailer. Yes, this fantastic build was even built with a trailer package! Car covers for both the “T” and one for the trailer. This is an incredibly fine model “T” and has an unbelievable ride.
All paperwork is available.
