Cool Show Rod - Dean Jeffries Mantaray

The Mantaray is such a classic. A show piece that definitively defines the Hot Rod hobby. I caught a glimpse at this famous show rod at the Petersen Automotive Museum a couple years ago. Too bad I only had my phone at the time. The Jalopy Journal and Street Rodder have good articles on this king of custom cars.



Updated 03/16/11 - Issue 24 of Traditional Rod & Kulture showcases the Mantaray accompanied by lovely pin-up model Heidi Van Horne. Lots of curves in that picture!
