Don't like what you see in the car showroom or on the roads? When cars were first introduced over one hundred years ago, it was common for a mechanically inclined person to build their own car from scratch or from available parts. Compared to today, it was simply motorizing a horse drawn buggy or wagon.

In the 1920s and 1930s you could easily buy everything necessary to build a car from mail order catalogs and supplies available. Or you could modify an old car to your requirement. Hardware stores actually created their own make of car by assembling parts and putting their own branding on them. The Model T Ford was the most modified car of the time — speedsters, race cars, specialty trucks, off-road modifications for the snow, swamp and beach and military vehicles like half-tracks and even tanks. After World War II it was hot rods, customs, streamliners, jalopies, sprint cars, dune buggies, dragsters, sport cars, etc. It was possible to build any vehicle in your garage.

Is there a car you cannot identity or something your father built many years ago? Maybe it is one of these below...
