Hiding underneath these massive wheel arches are tyres: honestly! The beautiful brick-built curves have been created by Black Flag on Flickr. Chris’s Photostream contains more smooth and streamlined hot-rods, plus a transporter, plus many photos of real-life hot-rods and is well worth visiting.

Whilst we explain to a hoard of giggling Elves why ’41 Willys are not rude, you can enjoy more photos of this car here, whilst being serenaded by Flanagan & Allen here.
