Love T-buckets

[Spanky]

One of our members has suggested that we might start a thread where we simply express our love for these little cars through articles, pictures or just personal testimony. I don't know if web mistress would agree, but it might be a new forum topic by itself.

I'll start off with a link to an article by Eric Geisert, formerly of Street Rodder Magazine, who describes the evolution of the T-bucket as we know it.

How the Model T Became the T-Bucket, and Its Critical Role in Early Hot Rodding

A history of the T-bucket: The cheapest, simplest, most free and visually exciting conveyance still open to the hot rodder.

I watched 77 sunset strip with my parents hoping to just get glimpse of Kookie and his car. I think around 1960-61 my Dad who loved anything mechanical agreed to take me to a car show in Nashville Tn at the fair grounds coliseum. I saw my first hot rods up close including a T bucket and a Triumph 650. Both were black with matching flames. Pic of a favorite. Ron's stretched body.
