50 Cool Rat Rods Everyone Has to See

1941 Ford Pickup “Gold Standard”

If King Midas had owned a car, it might have been this piece of work. Ed Sears of Annapolis, Maryland, built this vehicle. He got his passion for trucks from his days growing up on a farm, and we get it.

He fell in love with the flowing lines of this 1941 Ford and got it fixed up by Ray Bartlett of The East Coast Hot Rod Garage. They pulled the cab, dipped it in acid, and treated it to restore it. It houses a 1953 Ford block at 284 cubic inches.
