Step back into hot rod history with this beautifully preserved 1923 T-Bucket Roadster, part of the Nostalgia Street Rods collection in Las Vegas. A true icon of 1960s car culture, this lightweight fiberglass-bodied roadster embodies the spirit of early American hot rodding. Powered by a Chevy 350 engine, paired with a Turbo 400 transmission and Chevy rear end, this hot rod showcases rare and vintage features such as Cal Custom valve covers, an Edelbrock box-type intake manifold, kerosene side lamps, and a classic straight-axle suspension.
Known as one of the most popular hot rods of its time, the ʼ23 T-Bucket was often featured in early television shows like Route 66 and The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. With its signature big rear tires, skinny front wheels, side pipes, and unique steering system, the T-Bucket represents a bold and innovative era in hot rod design. This particular car belonged to Art Goldstrom and remains a standout piece of American automotive heritage.
