If you made it to the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona this year you probably saw this beauty; a 1937 Packard that was transformed by Hollywood Hot Rods into this stunner. Champion had the privilege of fabbing the custom radiator to cool her.
Typical of everything Hollywood Hot Rods does, the car has countless hours and endless attention to detail put into her. Nothing rolls out of their shop that isn’t extraordinary, and this gem, dubbed “The Mulholland Speedster,” is nothing short of a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
Hollywood Hot Rod’s Owner, Troy Ladd, says “I like traditional style and vintage aesthetics. I take the elements and add creativity to expand on the tradition. I like to do advanced metalwork that looks very subtle.”
One look at this Packard and you can see that he applied this principle from start to finish. The most expensive project Ladd has done to date, the Packard has a blown twelve-cylinder Flathead power plant under the gleaming hood.
“I like understated elegance,” Ladd says of his work. “To enhance the original design. That’s the whole vibe.”
Troy Ladd was recently named one of America’s Top Ten Car Builders at the SEMA IGNITED Battle of the Builders in Las Vegas, Nevada.
