Orange Rufy

By Rob Einaudi

Ben Levy sent me a link to some photos he took at the Chi-Town Kruze, a huge classic car cruise and show that takes place near Chicago’s Lakefront. I really loved this ’48 Dodge, the "Orange Rufy." That’s not paint, that’s Rhino Hide! It’s got a 502 Chevy crate marine motor, Turbo 400 trans and Ford 9" rear end. More pics after the jump, and be sure to check out this video about the car.

I agree with Stewart, very original. There is a pickup out here where the whole bed is covered in rhino liner but it doesnt look nearly this good.

That thing is pretty cool. You don’t see many of these around anymore, espically as Rods.
