50 Cool Rat Rods Everyone Has to See

1940 Willys

Looking at this 1940s-era Wily reminds us of the quote Han Solo lays on Luke Skywalker when the latter first lays eyes on the Millennium Falcon in 1977’s Star Wars. “She’s  not much to look at kid, but she’s got it where it counts.”

Where it counts is the monstrous engine block that threatens to cut off the driver’s field of vision. These cars were built in all steel and this one can generate up to 502 horsepower thanks to its 350 motor with a Holly 4-barrel carburetor.
