This 1938 Plymouth Coupe was built into a street rod more than two decades ago in Massachusetts, and it was acquired by the seller’s father-in-law in 2023. Power comes from a 350ci Chevrolet V8 linked to a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end, and the car rides on a replacement chassis with an independent front suspension, a four-link rear setup, and Cragar 15” wheels. The body has been smoothed and modified with a recessed license plate box and front bumperettes, and the interior has been redone with gray tweed upholstery, engine-turned trim, a Lokar shifter, a Kenwood CD head unit, power windows, and Dolphin gauges. This custom Plymouth is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with build records, an owner’s manual, and a clean West Virginia title.
The fender seams and rear bumper mounting holes were filled during the build, and a recessed license plate box was added to the rear valance before a repaint in red. Front bumperettes and LED indicators were installed along with blue-dot headlights and taillights. Other details include tinted glass, running boards, dual exhaust outlets, and dual electric windshield wipers.
Cragar 15” wheels are wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The body is said to be mounted to a frame sourced from a Chevrolet Monte Carlo with an independent front suspension, a four-link rear setup, and coil springs all around. The car is equipped with a manual steering rack, and braking is handled by power-assisted drums at all four corners.
The cabin is trimmed in gray tweed upholstery that extends to the dashboard, center console, and door panels as well as the molded headliner. Bound carpets line the floors, and an engine-turned panel accents the dashboard fascia. The front seats have folding armrests and three-point seatbelts, and rear jump seats are on either side of a storage compartment. Additional appointments include a Lokar shifter, air conditioning, a Kenwood CD head unit, and power windows. The seller notes that the air conditioning system does not blow cold.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel is mounted to a tilt column and sits ahead of Dolphin instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, and 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer shows 11k miles, approximately 100 of which have been added under current ownership. The seller notes that the gauges for fuel level and voltage do not work.
A fuel cell and a fire extinguisher are mounted in the trunk, which is trimmed to complement the cabin. The trunk lid struts need to be replaced.
The 350ci Chevrolet V8 is equipped with a Holley carburetor and Hi-Tek air cleaner. A diamond-plate firewall aluminum has been installed, and the aluminum radiator is cooled by an electric pusher fan.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end.
The body number 90642190 is shown above. The car is titled using the VIN 10292441, which the seller is unable to locate on the car.
Photos taken at various stages of the build will accompany the car along with an owner’s manual and build records, which can be viewed in the gallery.
This 1928 Ford Model A Tudor sedan was built into a rat rod and owned by actor Ewan McGregor before it was acquired by the current owner in 2025. The chopped and channeled steel body is mounted on a customized frame, and it rides on red wire wheels with a suicide front end and a modified rear end with lever shocks, ladder bars, and transverse leaf springs. The distressed bodywork has matte paint and flourishes, and inside are bucket seats with black upholstery, lengthened shifter and steering columns, and aftermarket gauges. The car is powered by a Buick 401ci Nailhead V8 topped by a Holley carburetor and linked to an automatic transmission. This rat rod is now offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of its owner with a clean California title.
The steel body has been chopped and channeled, and it has distressed matte paintwork accented by custom flourishes. There is no roof or side windows.
The body is mounted on a customized frame, and it rides on red wire wheels with a suicide front end and a modified rear end with lever shocks, ladder bars, and transverse leaf springs. Hydraulic drums have also been installed.
The Kirkey bucket seats were installed in October 2025. Custom details continue throughout the cabin, and the driver is provided a tall shifter with a Von Dutch-style shift knob and a lenthened steering column.
A trio of gauges are mounted in the cluster, though there is no speedometer or odometer. Total mileage is unknown.
The build uses a Buick 401ci Nailhead V8 topped by a Holley carburetor and equipped with lake-style headers. In October 2025, the oil was changed, the fuel filter was replaced, the carburtor was rebuilt, and a new battery and spark plugs were installed.
A GM automatic transmission was fitted, and a the driveshaft is covered by a mesh screen.
The car is titled as a 1928 Ford using VIN 234591.
Yesterday, my cubemate DerekShiekhi observed how several modern cars have handled two-toning, to mixed reviews. In a previous era, two-toning was more uniform and consistent.

As far as I can tell, two-toning picked up in popularity in the 1940s, with the greenhouse being painted a contrasting color. Not until the advent of postwar redesigns did two-toning become more widespread, with the roof being painted a different color. Using trim helped add even more contrast, with several brands (notably Packard in 1955) even offering three-tone schemes. But as the 1950s ended (like all decades, they bled into the next one), manufacturers reverted to just a contrasting roof. Glance at a 1963 Ford and it would not be unusual to see a contrasting roof—you’ve probably seen one with a white or black top countless times but never blinked. Of course, other contrasting colors were available.
To these eyes, it appears that two-toning began to be less and less popular as we entered the 1970s, which is also the decade that luxury (or pseudo-luxury) cars began to flaunt fancy two-tone paint schemes. The painted roof seemed so quaint by that time, but the 1970s was an era of excess style, the last moment we were footloose and fancy-free before America became more complicated and (dare I say) over-regulated.
When my mom was shopping for wagons and honed in on a 1979 Pontiac LeMans Safari (no doubt due to my influence after being exposed to the charms of Pontiac thanks to our neighbors, whose family owned a Pontiac dealership in Elmer, New Jersey), she certainly didn’t want the fake wood paneling of the Grand LeMans, and was disappointed she could not get the two-toning she had seen on a Grand Prix. Looking at a Pontiac brochure, I see that LeMans two-tone paint was option W50, though I cannot determine from this alone whether it was available on the wagon or if the salesman led us astray.

Certainly, there are factory limitations to how paint can be applied to a mass-produced car, but paint is something that can be used as a styling instrument, much like headlight lighting today—witness the above Delahaye.
If you think classic cars don’t need a vinyl top to offer a contrasting roof, then you may dig the Two-Tone Muscle Cars (and more!) group on Facebook. While black or white tops seem to be most common, it can be exciting to see other color combinations that can’t be offered with the limited color availability of vinyl tops.

During the early 1970s, Chevrolet promoted its brand with the tagline, “Building a better way to see the U.S.A.” Some advertisements said, “Take to the highways and back roads in a car that’s easy on everything—particularly the upkeep.” Featured on AutoHunter is a Bow Tie from this era, a 1972 Chevrolet Nova two-door Coupe. It is being sold by a dealer in Asheboro, North Carolina, with the auction ending on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. (MST).
Now, five decades after Chevrolet launched its “see the U.S.A.” tagline (truthfully, it was a nod to a campaign from more than 20 years earlier), I can still think of relatively few ways that might be better means of transport for a cross-country tour than behind the wheel of a sporty, classic muscle car. This frame-off-restored Nova might be just the ticket.
The car’s exterior is finished in Candyapple Red, and the dual black stripes provide a bit of contrast and flair to the body. Modeled as a Super Sport tribute, the car has obligatory “SS” badges in the grille and taillight panel. Other features include a Cowl Induction hood, dual side mirrors, tinted windows, chrome brightwork, and a dual exhaust system. Traction comes from 15-inch Rally wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires.
The Nova (previous known as a trim level for the Chevy II) was in its third generation from 1968-72. Thanks to its unibody construction and compact size, it had a strong power-to-weight ratio and was capable of being a formidable performance car on the street or track. Chevrolet generally promoted the car’s low cost of ownership: a magazine advertisement for the 1972 Nova said, “How to see less of your mechanic and more of America.” It went on to say, “When Motor Service and Service StationManagement surveyed independent auto mechanics, they rated Nova the car with the least mechanical problems and said it was the easiest to service.”
This Nova’s original 350 engine has been removed, but a replacement small-block has taken its place. This V8 is mated to a three-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear-end. A few performance upgrades have been integrated into the build, including a Holley 650cfm four-barrel carburetor, Champion aluminum radiator, a speed starter, and an AGM battery.
The selling dealer has posted a video with a virtual tour which showcases the exterior, interior, and trunk. It also demonstrates the Bluetooth audio system, digital gauges, and ambient cabin lighting. What do you think? Seems like a nice cockpit to hang out in for a long U.S.A. driving tour!
No automotive enthusiast I know is into cars exclusively. Each of them has at least one other interest (such as watches). Many people are into certain movies or film franchises, which can often guide numerous fantasies and even the purchasing decisions of gearheads. “Back to the Future” is not only an iconic movie by itself, but it’s also well known amongst the car community for popularizing the DeLorean DMC-12, albeit one that was heavily modified into a time machine. Our Pick of the Day is perfect for both fans of the movie and its hero vehicle. This 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 “Back to the Future” time machine replica is listed on ClassicCars.com by a dealership in Miami.
It’s safe to say that ever since “Back to the Future” first hit theaters in 1985, people have been creating replicas of its stainless steel-skinned time machine. Building one of those on a limited budget in a garage can end poorly. However, this one is on a completely different level as it was created by Bruce Coulombe of Coulombe Enterprises, a Florida company which has built nearly 70 BTTF time machine replicas.
Just look at the details. According to the selling dealer, “Great lengths were spent achieving a correct representation of the movie down to the correct purple clamps that hold the external wires. Most builders would use black clamps—these are aviation purple clamps use just like in the movie car. It has all-metal aluminum construction for the rear vents, external mesh rails and other parts.”
There’s also a Mr. Fusion device at the back, which Doc Brown used at the end of the first movie/beginning of “Back to the Future Part II” to turn ordinary trash into power.
Inside the cockpit, there are all the buttons and displays that helped send Marty McFly back to 1955. The seller adds, “Fully functional ‘Time Circuits’ can be programmed with any dates/times you like. Real working ‘Plutonium Gauges’ exactly as in the film. The ‘Upper Console’ is mounted to the ceiling, along with many other details in the car that are exact replicas of the parts seen in the film.” In addition, there are plenty of prop replicas that come with the car, including a hoverboard signed by Christopher Lloyd.
No BTTF DeLorean would be complete without a Flux Capacitor. I think you can guess by now that this replica has one. It emits a resonating buzz and, when you put it into “time travel” modes, it even lights up.
Mechanically, this DeLorean did some time-traveling into the future, receiving upgraded front shocks and adjustable rear coilovers. The PRV (Peugeot-Renault-Volvo) 2.85-liter V6 is connected to a five-speed manual gearbox and cooled by an upgraded radiator with dual electric fans.
If you feel that it’s your “density” to buy this 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 “Back to the Future” time machine replica, don’t be timid like the 1955 version of George McFly—act like the more confident 1985 George McFly and go after what you want. You might need to sell a lot of books, though, because it’ll cost you $175,000 to put this creation in your driveway.
Manejar la diabetes requiere prestar mucha atención a lo que comes. Algunos alimentos pueden provocar picos de azúcar en la sangre, aumentar la resistencia a la insulina o contribuir a otras complicaciones de salud.

Just like automatic shifters, two-tone vehicle paint jobs are nothing new, but manufacturers keep coming up with different versions of them.
You can put new vehicles into drive using buttons, a lever, or a dial. If you want something a little more dynamic than one solid color, certain models allow you to select a two-tone color scheme. Some of those are more conventional than others.

The 2025 Ford F-150 King Ranch comes with Marsh Gray lower-body trim, then lets you select from a range of colors for the rest of the truck. If you really want to mix things up, there are options out there. For $68,000, you can add the Ombré by Mulliner finish (which gradually transitions from one color to another) to your Bentley.
2026 Toyota Crown (Photo courtesy of Toyota)
In the realm of more affordable vehicles, there’s the Toyota Crown and the Ford Expedition. Toyota’s high-riding, all-wheel-drive hybrid sedan is available in a variety of solid colors, with four that are paired with black for part of the nose, hood, roof, trunk lid, and part of the tail. The blacked-out hood brings the carbon-fiber hoods installed on some modified Asian cars to mind, so it works. The roof does as well, but all that black at the rear throws things off and makes the Crown look a little odd.

Then there’s the 2025 Expedition. I thought the first one I saw out on the road was a police cruiser. Why? Because it was white and the top part of its Ford Split Gate was black. I was surprised to learn that civilians can get theirs like that from the showroom floor. I can’t say I’m a fan because I think the key to an attractive two-tone paint job is flow. If you see a handsome bi-color Chevrolet C10, its two colors are stacked, start at the front, and end at the back. The same goes for ultra-luxury cars such as the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and Rolls-Royce Phantom.
2025 Ford Expedition Platinum (Photo courtesy of Ford)
There’s a flow to the Toyota Crown, but all that black pools up in the rear. In a way, the Ford Expedition has a flow: its profile has the roof as the top layer, darkened B-, C-, and D-pillars below that, and the rest of the body at the bottom. But then there’s that seemingly random black liftgate, which makes the vehicle look out of balance.
