Z'd Frame

Art Tremaine's 1929 Ford Model A Roadster of Whittier, California. Art was a member of the Strokers of Whittier car club and his roadster was built in the late 1940s. By 1957 the roadster had been sold to T.W. Buck and Roger Bohls of Austin, Texas. The frame of the car was Z'd 3 inches in the rear to lower the car.

Bob Moloney's 1932 Ford Five-Window Coupe of Boston, Massachusetts. Built in the East Coast style and owned by Bob Moloney since 1960, this historic Deuce coupe has evolved across decades, states, and styles. Originally channeled, Z'd and boxed in a Dorchester garage in the 1950s, Bob bought the abandoned project for $425 and had it road-ready by June 1961. Over the years, it gained Corvette small-block power, a Jaguar XKE rear suspension, and countless custom details. Continuously registered and running since 1965, the coupe blends East and West Coast influences with Bob’s personal craftsmanship, making it one of the longest-owned, continuously driven hot rods in the U.S.

George Jezek's 1931 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan of Waco, Texas. Built in 1969-1970, this striking 1931 Ford Sedan was Jezek's tribute to the legendary Lil' Coffin, featuring a chopped and channeled body, a Z'd frame, 350 Chevy power, and hand-fabricated details throughout. Crafted in his Waco, Texas garage, the car became a showstopper, earning Street Rodder Magazine's Street Rod of the Year Award in 1972. Jezek sold the car at the 1973 Street Rod Nationals in Tulsa. A testament to homebuilt ingenuity, this sedan remains an icon of late 1960s hot rod styling.
