Not really a rat rod, but then most of the stuff they show is not!!

Some cool, some just death traps.

Note to author: if a car won a Ridler, it isn't a rat rod.  Similarly, if a car won the Indy 500, it too probably isn't a rat rod.

Who ever made that list is clueless, though I think that one labeled RollsRod, may have had some sort of tie in to a certain German leader back in the 30's and early 40's too.........

Here we go.

I can remember these things making the car show circuit wayyy back in the 70s. Can't remember what they called them or who made them but as kids we loved them.
