Known as "The Reed Brothers Coupe", this timeless "World-Class Hot-Rod" was the collaborative vision of two-brothers and the late legendary master-craftsman Bill Collings of Collings Custom Guitars & Collings Custom Craft Hot Rod Custom & Automotive Adventures based in Austin, Texas. During the design stages with Jack Reed & Bill Collings they were accompanied by acclaimed Hot-Rod artist Jimmy Smith, "All parties stressed the importance of the planning stages; having a clear vision is imperative for a good build." This Hot-Rod crosses into the connecting realms of Legendary Handcrafted Guitars and Timeless Hot-Rods, the end result is not only captivating but truly inspiring & very collectable...

Further Credit To Rodder's Journal #76 Article Written by Gerry Burger & Photographed by John Jackson: "BIll Collings was best known for his world-class guitars, but Ralph Reed’s ’31 Model A coupe illustrates the talents of his other venture, Collings Custom Craft. Starting with a bone-stock Model A, the car was chopped and dropped onto a highly modified Deuce frame. With a smallblock between the rails, a dirt track-inspired wheel and tire combo and a Deco-style interior, it combines hot rod elements from a variety of eras—and everything flows seamlessly."
