Team Speed - Rad Rides from the Petersen Vault

It doesn’t get much sexier than this big, bad, and blue hot rod. This 1929 Ford Custom Model A Tudor open header gives the menacing engine a chance to shine, and completely dominate. The aesthetic choices are spot on from the restrained line work to the aggressive metal work.

This hot rod demands we take it old school, skidoo! It makes us feel like a high school hellcat, we’ll see you tonight at Deadman’s Curve.

The 2018 Ford GT 1967 Heritage Edition is a red-hot car that gives a nod to its racing roots. Ford honored its motor sport history by creating an homage the 1967 winning Le Mans car with a decidedly foxy reboot.

Donning glossy Race Red paint with white stripes, it bears the same Frozen White No. 1 hood and door graphics that the original 1967 donned at Le Mans. This little minx has an exposed carbon package, 20-inch one-piece forged aluminum wheels in silver satin, red brake calipers, and silver rearview mirror caps. The GT’s interior features carbon fiber seats feature leather trim and red accent stitching. Red, hot, and whoo!

We’ll readily admit that the lines of this 1967 Porsche 910 make us weak in the knees. This speed machine once won in its class in the 24 Hour of Le Mans.

Beautifully maintained, it’s really something to see history up close and so perfectly preserved. It is a perfect blend of elegance, velocity, and consummate badass. It truly exemplifies Porsche power at it’s finest.
