The Devil is in the details.....



I’ve seen enough old cars to last anyone a lifetime. Yes my curiosity and unbridled obsession with automobiles has evolved past the basic appreciation into a weird neurotic hybrid of love and hate. I really don’t need to see the whole car at this point I’ve created my own game of “what personal touch” has this builder/owner done to their car. Its proven quite fun and pointing out the details is always a touching notion to the guy who had to lay awake in bed for weeks debating if this part or piece would work and if it would even be noticed. Recently Austin own Mark Ford added this fog light to his amazingly simple yet perfect deuce supported HEMI motivated Model A. At first glance it’s just a fog light but take note of the hand formed and hammered bracket the angle of the light matching the grill shell and Marks namesake factory etched in the housing and its soon apparent this wasn’t a basic add on for function. No sir this was well thought out and would go unnoticed unless you positioned yourself within eye shot of this basic illuminator; clean design and flawless layout is a complicated art.
