A REAL HOT ROD

As the Barrington Concours was winding down last Sunday, my good friend Lou Natenschon told me that collector Jack Bowser was interested in talking to me. Jack had entered a very nice Auburn in the show, but it was another car he wanted to talk about. It seems that he just completed building a very unique "hot rod" with a '34 Ford roadster body and a Marmon V-16 engine. The hood of the Ford had to be stretched a bit to accommodate the long V-16, which is fitted with electronic fuel injection and mated to a Viper six-speed transmission. We're looking forward to getting additional info on the "Real Hot Rod" for a future article. Stay tuned to Old Cars Weekly for that.
