Rods like this aren’t for the billet-wheel and small-block folks. Nor is this rod for the faint of heart or light of foot. This thing is intended for the knuckle-dragging, hairy-armed, skilled-with-a-wrench guys who don’t need 4 wheel drive, complex brakes or crumple zones. What we have here is a Model A with an early Chrysler 331 C.I. hemispherical-head V8, running through six deuces. The owner and builder of the car is called Jimmy White- the founder of, and one of the geniuses (or madmen) behind, the iron that rolls out of Circle City Hot Rods, in Orange, California. Although more cars than this have come out of his shop, this is considered by many to be his masterpiece. Who can deny the cool factor of the thing, let alone the glorious noise that is coming out of the straight pipes? This is in a class of it’s own- this thing is bitchin’, no way around that. Stay tuned to C|G for more on Circle City.

Have a great weekend!
