Tuesday, October 28, 2008 – Street Rod Tours

Modified and stretched 1923 Ford Roadster street rod - Street Rod Tours, Hollywood

Okay – as much of Hollywood as you can stand, on Hollywood Boulevard, parked in front of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel – financed in 1927 by Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and Louis B. Mayer, and where in 1929 they held the first Academy Awards thing, and haunted by the ghost of Marilyn Monroe, who lived there for two years – the modified and stretched 1923 Ford Roadster street rod of Street Rod Tours

    Specially built for sightseeing tours, our 1923 Ford T gives you 360 degree panoramic views with style.  Each compartment has a pair of 365 watts DUB speakers backed up by a 4000 watts amp. The engine is a 302 Ford with 3 deuces delivering 345 HP, but no worries - we'll just cruise around. …
