Nine Great Bare-Necessity-Mobiles
Yesterday, GM announced a return to basics. That's good because sometimes, mobility alone is all we can afford. Few bare-bones cars had something making them more than basic transportation. Some, starting with the Model T, did. Here's our favorites. More » -

Ten Ways The Model T Changed The World
For the 100th anniversary of the Model T, Ford thought it would rip off Jalopnik’s patented top 10 list with one of their own. While there’s no denying the importance of the Model T in creating the consumer/industrial complex, some of Ford’s claims seem a bit rose-tinted. So let’s take a look at ten ways Ford thinks the Model T changed the world, along with a little bit of third-party perspective. More » -

Before They Called Them Rat Rods: Hellhammer's Caddy-Powered Model T
When we brought a car with a crazy engine/transmission swap and some wild junkyard suspension mods to the 24 Hours of LeMons race, some folks thought it wouldn't last a dozen laps... but we knew better. You see, we've got the mighty Hellhammer, aka Junkyard Dave Schaible, as crew chief, and this guy can build anything. Here's one of my favorite Hellhammer projects: one of the first- if not the first- of the current generation of Northern California rat rods, built back in the early 1980s. It's a Model T body (which was found, complete with bullet holes, sitting in a Castro Valley field) on a Model A frame, powered by a '49 Cadillac 331-cubic-inch engine spinning a seriously lumpy mid-50s-vintage Isky cam. It's built entirely from stuff Dave had sitting around, including a Geo Metro back seat, '40 Ford brakes, handmade headers, etc., and I'm having a tough time thinking of any vehicle that's more fun to drive. Those of you heading to the Billetproof show in September will get to see this machine in person. More »
