Английская Википедия:Icon Derelict DeSoto
The Icon Derelict DeSoto is a one-off rat rod, modified from a standard 1952 Chrysler Town & Country by ICON. It uses a Chrysler Hemi V8 engine, and features the front end from a DeSoto.
Specification
The Derelict DeSoto was originally built as a Chrysler Town & Country Wagon in 1952, but was rebuilt by Icon into a rat rod as part of their Derelict line.[1] The car features the front end from a 1952 DeSoto sedan, whilst it retains the Town & Country's original rear end.[2] The standard Chrysler Hemi V8 engine was replaced by a 6.1-litre, Шаблон:Convert SRT Hemi V8, as used in the Dodge Challenger SRT-8; a 6-speed automatic transmission was also fitted.[3]
Reception
Hot Rod Magazine tested the car in April 2011, and were generally positive.[3] They praised the car's reliability and driveability, although David Freiburger criticized the placement of the fly-by-wire throttle, and both testers criticized the cupholders.[3] In 2012, it was featured on an episode of Jay Leno's Garage.[1]
