The Red Head Annie

I met Harley and The Red Head Annie ( a 1924 Dodge) this past weekend. I have to say it was one of the most interesting vehicles I have ever seen. Harley told me that he worked on Annie by hand over the years and how he has added few things to give her some real personality.

A piston to hold the steering wheel in place.

A little ammo to hold everything together.

Ratrod or Opel?

Click on the video below to get a sneak peak at this creative Ratrod! Notice the detail of the barb wire, and the lack of a radiator in the front of the vehicle! The Ratrod gives enthusiasts the ability to create a totally different automobile, and still considered a collector car to the owner. The creativity of this Ratrod makes it really cool!

The Opel has a stylish design, and only in production from 1968 to 1973. This '73 Opel GT is a perfect example! Take a close look at the sleek steel unibody and the pop-up headlights, which are manually operated by a large lever along the center console next to the shifter. Gorgeous classic!

Which car is your favorite? Is it the creative Ratrod or stylish Opel GT? You decide! You can see both of these collectable cars at Brusters Ice-Cream on Wednesday nights in Mooresville, NC.
