Hot Rod History

Oliver Hine

 

Oliver Hine’s ’33 Five-Window Coupe

Oliver Hine’s ’33 coupe from Charlotte, Michigan, is as much an early custom as a hot rod. The grille was a rare ’34 Brewster piece, not a foreign part as incorrectly identified by HR in the August ’55 issue. That grille and the on-the-pavement channel required extensive reworking of the front fenders and eliminated the practicality of running boards. The rear fenders were similar to ’36 Ford fenders, and the hood featured unusual custom louvers in the front. Under the hood a 250hp overhead Cadillac V-8 was backed by a column-shifted Ford overdrive trans. Hine’s elegant ’33 was displayed at the Ford Motor Company show at Rotunda in Dearborn.
