Retooled Hot Rods

Bo Zolland's ‘33-34' Automobile is a Blast from the Past

Vintage cars always rule in design; that may be the reason Swedish designer Bo Zolland decided to redesign a vintage hot rod for his ‘33-34’ automobile. The vintage beauty seats two people and is powered either by the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine from the Cadillac CTS-V or the Jaguar 4.2 with a Hilborn electronic injection.

Bo Zolland’s ‘33-34’ automobile also boasts Jaguar racing brakes, a tubular suspension and a leather interior. Enjoy some preview images of ‘33-34’ in the gallery.
