We know absolutely nothing about this 1924 Dodge Modified owned by Clark Bates, but we're definitely going on record as wanting one. It's the coolest-ever field car.

It looks like an old-timey dirt tracker. Heck, it very well might be, but it also might be a recreation or homage to some long lost hot rod. We don't care, this thing looks like a grown up go-cart and that means a ball of laughs. The skinny tires guarantee riotous handling and the spartan interior means you can wash it out with a hose when you go blasting through an empty soybean field. The best part? An exposed drive shaft painted like a barber pole. That's genius.
