Not a Rat-Rod: 1922 Ford Roadster -/BIG MUSCLE

Owner:
• Anji Ramsey
Family heirlooms tend to come in many different shapes and sizes. Sometimes they come in the form of a piece of jewelry, other times a piece of furniture. Rarely though do they come equipped with a 255 cubic inch Ford flathead, side pipes and a sound that rivals most orchestras. This is Anji Ramsey's 1922 Ford Roadster and it's a car that's been in her family (in one way or another) for the better part of 65 years.

As a 6'6", about 250lb monster, *I feel your pain Mike Musto :/.* I had the opportunity to drive a glorious GT40 (favorite supercar btw) *WITH THE **_GERNEY BUBBLE_**, and my head was STILL smushed against the top, and my knee's at my ears!* By golly it was still worth every yoga-inducing second though :).

[@cybertree]

You all should be glad that your "pretty tall", instead of "stop-eating to stare at me in the airport tall" ROFLMAO.

[@SpudsMcHaggis]

LOL! The end was gold!!!!!

[@chikitabowow]

It's pretty insane, in 6 years that car will be a 100 years old

[@gaydes1012]

only 2 more years now

[@ddriver22]

never get tired of looking straight into the history of car, and recognizing how far they have come from then to now. Every time I watch these videos I grow a greater respect for old cars. Its safe to say Drive is my favorite channels on youtube, maybe tied with Petrolicious. I love the story behind them all.

[@nastraightsix]

Well said Sir/Madame! These episodes are not only informative but inspiring. The quality in which we the viewers receive from /Drive for practically free is truly amazing.

[@kevinboothe9991]

Flathead have a sound all their own!

[@ferrarikg]

Very entertaining . Thank you guys.

[@drivebigmuscle8080]

This was one of my favorite cars thus far. Finding a car with a documented history like this '22 was a pure joy. Anji couldn't have been more gracious and the stories she told us about her Grandfather would make any automotive enthusiast jealous.

[@flatfender1947]

22 firewall with a narrowed 26/27 cowl. windshield and dash are narrower than on my 26. Nice modified, great history.

[@GrotrianSeiler]

This is one priceless video-beginning and end. Thanks Anji, thanks Mike, and someone is still driving a Caprice wagon. Cool.

[@the6cow6god6]

yet another amazing video and such a beautiful little ford. thanks for another week of good stuff big muscle

[@MADMODS]

Beautiful car and piece of history glad its still on the road for many to admire.

[@m1chelangel01]

Thanks Mike, I absolutely love this car :)

[@ChadGeidel]

Love the roads you are driving on in this!

[@SeikenFreak]

The train segment was fantastic. Thank you SO much for putting that in.

[@MrMercules]

Beautiful! And what a story! This is Big Muscle at its best. Thanks :)

[@martinhami3]

what a beautiful car and back story. That ending was brilliant!!

[@htweelz]

Great episode! The ending was priceless but I love the story behind that Hot Rod. I truly believe cars can become members of the family.

[@craigpennington1251]

I love this car. I'm 5'7" and this thing would fit like a custom made glove for me. The car from the outside looks proportional in every aspect. Myself-I'd put a little wider and taller tires on. The car sounds awesome. What a great weekend cruising machine.

[@mulomuleando]

That roadster looks SO good. Just perfect.

[@TonysRacing600]

Very cool episode!

[@robbiestapleton7972]

That thing looks and sounds amazing!

[@Kelembor]

Awesome chapter, guys. I laughted so much and the car is beautiful.

[@drivebigmuscle8080]

People have no idea and that's okay. We all wish it was only a 10 hr day. One of the coolest parts for us is to see the reactions of the owners. They REALLY have no idea what's involved in producing a show like this, or any other of our /DRIVE shows. Between the traveling, equipment hauling, pre-production time, writing the episode, downloading footage, editing, revisions, etc... people are amazed. Our only job is to try and bring you guys the best cars/people we can. Hopefully we're doing that.

[@ROCHELLBOY]

Loved the bid guys

[@troy7481]

Fantastic video. the ending bit was hilarious!!

[@iacono1987]

Haha, one I the best out takes yet. Thanks for leaving that in

[@1MrLuar]

I liked the video and the car, but the " train " part was BRILLIANT .

[@HuskyCOGtnt118]

Your right about the term rat rod. I used it to classify a rusted out hot rod or t buckett and usualy they have small block 350s

[@ryanhburke]

Love this episode

[@MegaZombieland1234]

i love the battle wagon !! more behind the scenes !

[@warrenpierce5542]

As a taxi driver, once had a train derail in front of me. It didn't fall over but stopped blocking the road. My stop was just on the other side of the tracks. I made a quick you turn and had to drive three miles to find a way around the long stopped train. Took a crane to clear the jam.

[@keshlan23]

love this show

[@964rsracing]

What an epic car! That sound!

[@TheErikOfCanada]

i wish we could see more behind the scenes of big muscle and other drive shows, that would be awesome

[@seanc5481]

I thank you for a job well done, you have helped me decide to sell my current car to find a muscle car!

[@thatbimmerguy2422]

A pice of history driving down the road beautiful

[@qqqqqqqq1407]

OMG at the beginning he's in Benicia, i live there.

[@dimitarttt]

I Love the show!

[@searchofseven]

The last part had me in laughing. That discussion is exactly how most accidents happen. We all know if the battle wagon was crushed from being stuck on the tracks after the failed attempt to jump them, they would have blamed you Mike! Haha

[@BrickMuffin]

Thank you!!!!!!!!

[@drivebigmuscle8080]

That is a very good point!

[@Barnz1980]

nice episode as always, lol at the end

[@nastraightsix]

Thank you Anji for sharing your great story. Thank you Zack for torturing Mr Angry in what turned into a hilarious ending for this episode. Hope you feel better soon Mr Musto.

[@kushmaster1016]

Mike's chargers are so awesome.

[@kuglepen64]

That ending

[@Gearz70]

Funniest one so far, great car too. Thumbs up !!

[@nedeljkokopikopac1516]

Very nice,roll on man!!!

[@freakineagle]

AWESOME!

[@peterpohle9355]

Cool ride

[@SuperHappyChef]

Mike seems like a great interviewer, really easy to talk to.

[@BadBandar59]

awesome ending! hilarious!!

[@naes150]

loved the end

[@craigpennington1251]

I have since lost 2" of height because of my vertebra are further deteriorating. I'm no 5'5" tall. This car would be ideal for me. This car would really stand out if it had a Carson top to go on. Love these cars and there's not many videos about them. Wish there were more. The flat head engine _ WOW!

[@nastraightsix]

Ten hours! Oh my! I doubt that most viewers have any idea how hard and long you guys work on not only these episodes, but also defusing all of Thadd's crazy suggestions like jumping the Battle Wagon.

[@Voodoo_One]

Love the show, even im not so much into hot rod/muscle cars

[@ThereAreNoHandlesLeft]

The end had me rolling. That's the real show, Mike getting pissed off at the humorous psychic cameraman. Where's episode 2?

[@Spearfisher1970]

Nice sounding motor.

[@nastraightsix]

I would say that all of you are succeeding in your goals ten-fold Sir.

[@Smithy350]

That bit at the end was so funny

[@JickJackJake]

My friend has that same wagon. A 96' it has been in some battles.

[@Pawpcorns]

Best outro.

[@g8gt412]

The crew that shoots Tuned also shoots Big Muscle. So they alternate the time when episodes air.

[@scrustle]

How the hell could anyone call that thing a rat rod? It's immaculate!

[@reddragon042391]

That hot rod is beautiful. Anyone who would call it a rat is an idiot, and doesn't understand the term Ratrod. That ford is breathtakingly timeless.

[@de0ndre]

Love it!

[@jonathanmendez546]

nice car, i hope someday i can make one Here in philipines

[@Teddles1975]

Truly traditional love it

[@TheBestUserEU]

Impressive.

[@ConditionCheap]

I liked the car, but I loved the train! :D

[@simoncrabb]

Best ending ever.

[@bobbawon]

Sweet Caprice Mike! You should do a little feature on just that for April Fools or something... or maybe you guys can do a series on what the hosts of /DRIVE drive every day!

[@PAPO1990]

Grandpa sounds like possibly the best Bond villain ever :P

[@demander11]

the end was hilarious

[@HondaFanUA]

That ending was epic lmao.

[@zetabola1]

"I hate you, Zack" jajajajaja that train has kidnapped them

[@gaydes1012]

is it just me or does mike riding in the passenger side of the car look really fun

[@gizmothewytchdoktor1049]

cramped from driving a midgetmobile.... welome to old age michael. ;-) great review!

[@MrWinn]

The car gets a "meh..." the vid really starts at 12:30. After that point...gold.

[@g8gt412]

Oh look it is our good friend Mr.Dan Frederiksen.

[@str8edgepunker]

Best part is when the guy asks "Do I hear a diesel?" and then you start staring intently.

[@Pickelfartlightning]

Loved the episode.But when well we see some BIGhorespower auto`s?????

[@Shahreer271192]

Never let Big Muscle Die !!!!

[@groovyhippie1165]

Awesome story! To bad about the train, lol.

[@bottomlayer]

Big muscle is awesome

[@ltethan649]

i wanna see more of that wagon

[@jaysfan19]

Mike, how do you even attempt to shift gears in that car? You're amazing!

[@robertnunziata2950]

Mike like being back in Queens "hey grab the wheel " while I eat this here white castle

[@geforce5700fx]

i'm 23 years old and i'm 5 ft 6 ! gimme that car !

[@LiveForGLory]

MORE BEHIND THE SCENES!!!

[@xia]

It's funny to see him driving like that.

[@CTjacob13]

Every Ford hotrod deserves a Flathead.

[@wonderbread06]

Yes! Bay AREA!

[@simonneubert8474]

1926 body and a serious play padded interior will

[@HaHaEntertainmentR]

That last bit lmao!

[@peter_dc2rx]

[@drivebigmuscle8080]

Yep... 80's.

[@VARVIS_]

My dad drives a 1,400 HP Automatic Trans-Am. Featured him, lol.

[@drivebigmuscle8080]

It's my daily driver / film vehicle / hauler of auto & home depot parts...

[@MauJuarezRuiz]

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA... the train thing was so funny!
