Here’s without a doubt the coolest ride I’ve ever owned.
My 1930 Ford Model A 5 Window Coupe wich holds a stunning “Hot Rod”
scene history...
This car was originally built by Buddy Dughi. Lead vocalist for the Rockabilly
band “The Hot Rod Trio”. It was, in its old theme collors ( Green
with red scallops ) featured on the bands first CD cover “ Hi-Octane
Rockabilly!”
The car was very well known in the Southern California area at
the time and appeared in the books “Classic Hot Rods” and “The All- American Hot Rod”.
After Buddy
decided to sell his ’30 coupe it eventually
wound up in Northern
California
with Pro Skateboarding Legend
Steve Caballero.
After Steve
drove the car for a while he felt the need to change the car “that everyone
knew as Buddy’s old car” to his own. He then
brought the car to his friend and fellow Road Zombies CC member Alex Gambino, who’s running Gambino Kustoms in San Jose.
The car was
totally stripped down to bare metal for repaint and all needed body work
was done at that time. As you can see… they did an outstanding job on this hot rod!
I’ve owned /
driven this amazing looking coupe for more then two years...
I’ve done some
minor (EU safety ) changes to the car but as it was so well know’n and built,
I couldn’t
change anything else on this car ( would be a gods shame! )
And so... after owning / driving it for about three years...
I desided to give
someone else the opportunity to own it, as I needed to get rid of some creative
itch.
If you
think I’d trailered this ride you’re wrong! I’ve driven the hell out of it as
that’s where Hot Rods are built for! I’ve made some long distance trips with
it... also outside The Netherlands to!
This car is
also known as the “Coupe the Cab” and appeared in many magazines such as: Traditional Rod and Kulture, Garage, Rolls and Pleats, Smokin Shutdown, Church, Burnout, Intake, Ol Skool Rodz, Rod & Custom, Street Rodder, Hot Rod
Car is also
shown at several Hot Rod DVD’s such as: Mad
fabricators Volume #5, Hot Rod
Havoc 2, Shake Rattle and Roll,
Hot Rods, Rat Rods & Kustom Kulture
Back From The Dead.
