  • It doesn't get much more Miami than this... This is a 1930 Ford Model A, or at least it used to be one. These days it's a Rat Rod, with F1-inspired looks and about half a Honda S2000 underneath. Car enthusiast and tuner Ricky Boada has devoted himself to transforming an Instagram render into the real thing, mixing old Americana with a dash of JDM - what a recipe. Watch Rob Dahm tour around Miami in one of the wildest builds yet.

    A build like this is the quintessential thing about car culture that makes it so awesome. If you can dream it, and have the time, patients and resolve, you can make it a reality.

    Only thing I am sad about is the fact that they couldnt figure out better driving position that squizing your head down. I can imagine it would have been impossible any other way but thats the only complaint I can have. Great build, looks great - Is this the car from NFS 2015 or the one in NFS was just inspired by this one?

    "Miami is not even Florida." I like that. Miami is something else. I feel like they are the same way about boats. I've seen folks do a tight 180° turn in a canal just to talk to another boat. I love Miami.
