Top 10 Cars We Would Love To Restomod

August 13, 2018

1941 Hudson Commodore

Dating back to 1941, this is the oldest vehicle on the list, but just looking at it, I’m getting hot rod inspiration. The body has some rust and damage, but that’s to be expected, as the car was a barn find. It does run, but needs a lot of work. Firstly, we’d have the panels removed and some new ones custom made, still from steel. You’d need to find some new headlights, but that wouldn’t be too difficult. That engine would have to go too. It’s shot to pieces and is not going to last that long. A supercharged LS3 would make sense, with a nice big blower protruding from the hood.

The body could be cut and dropped, with a fair bit of length that could be lost towards the rear. Remove the roof, add a hood, and fit a street rod suspension set up. If you’re feeling particularly old school, you could give the car a mean stance with larger wheels at the back. Disc brakes are a must too. Add a fresh lick of paint, and you’ve got yourself a nice street rod, starting from a $5000 base car.
