[Cool Kat with Hot Car]

The Fords with the V-8 were light, quick, extremely durable, and handled well compared to their contemporaries. Not many cars of any price range could out perform a V-8 in the thirties. One can look at the success of the Ford roadsters verses all others in the early stock car races such as Mines Field or Elgin for an example. The V-8 could easily be modified for more horsepower and obviously became the engine and car of choice for the hotrodders of the 30's, 40's and early 50's.
