Description
A T-bucket (or Bucket T) is a hot rod, based on a Ford Model T of the 1915 to 1927 era, but extensively modified.
Model Ts were hot-rodded and customized from the 1920s on, but the T-bucket was specifically created in the 1950s. This car was named Lightning Bug, better known as the Kookie Kar, after being redesigned and appearing in the TV show 77 Sunset Strip, driven by character Gerald "Kookie" Kookson. The exposure it gained led to numerous copies being built.
A genuine T-bucket has the two-seater body of a Model T roadster (with or without the turtle deck or small pickup box), this "bucket"-shaped body shell giving the cars their name. A Model T-style radiator is usually fitted, and even these can sometimes be barely up to the task of cooling the large engines fitted. Windshields, when fitted, are vertical glass like the original Model T.
Please note that the FINE ART AMERICA watermark will not appear on the final print! :)
