Rat Rod Truck at Last Weekend’s Lonestar Round Up

Written by Ken Altes

1948 chopped truck with straight six engine with exhaust headers. I give extra points when I don’t see a Chevy small block. Especially like to see straight engines.

Rare Custom Sparks Turbo at Custom Car Crafters in N. Austin

Written by Ken Altes

Not what I first thought. This is a steel body on a Cadillac chassis with a turbo charged Caddy engine.  Sparks apparently made about 90 roadsters like this in the early 1980s.  Seems to be related to the Clenet, similar looking. French leather interior, long wheelbase.
