50 Cool Rat Rods Everyone Has to See

Corvette Zinger

Zingers were model car kits developed at MPC Corporation, made famous by showman Bob Larivvee Sr in the 1970s. The idea was to create scale replicas of cars using almost full-size engines. Definitely a unique idea if we have ever heard one.

The models were often used to promote ISCA hot rod shows. While not technically a rat rod, we thought it was a cool bit of trivia. We would not be opposed to someone creating a full-size vehicle with this style.
