Tony Corrao's 1926 Ford Model T Roadster.


Having started with a original 1926 Ford Model T Roadster pick up body, Tony Corrao designed and built this 50's early 60's traditional style hot rod from scratch. Beginning with a pile of rectangular tubing, Tony built the pinched and stepped 2x3 frame with 5 crossmembers. A 305 Chevy V8, 3 speed standard transmission and a S10 rear axle were added for power. A 1937 Ford assembly makes up the front end with GM disc brakes. A steel bed was built, and a 15 gallon gas tank added. Don Casper of "Inside Rides" in Waterford, Wi. built the interior and top. Other than those, this neat little ride was entirely built in Tony's garage with the help of some hot rod buddies in his home state of Wisconsin. Now some 12 years later, and many miles under her Hot Rod black paint job, it continues to turn heads. The car has been featured in both, Street Rodder and Rod & Custom magazines, and has won many awards. Kids love it, and the parents ask, "What is it?" The car hobby is all about fun with cars and this little ride will put a smile on your face every time !
