Few rat rods have as much character as this one, a 1937 Dodge Custom Rat Rod Pickup. This vehicle belonged to Billy Rhatigan, owner of Art City Body Shop in Springville, Utah.
This all-steel rat rod has authentic patina, a custom frame and an unrestored steel cab with a driver’s side windshield wiper. Both side windows are cracked, however.
Ahead of the cowl is a freshly built 350 CID Chevrolet engine with an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold, a four-bolt main, a new automatic transmission, while behind the cab is a Camaro rear differential. This Rat Rod also has four-wheel brakes. Driver convenience features include power windows.
The Rat Rod has 165/80R15 radials in front with 265/75R15 BFGoodrich Long Trail T/As in back. Each tire is mounted on black disc wheels with chrome center caps. The tires and wheels are in overall very good order.
Examples of whimsical touches include a swan hood ornament, a bottle of Arrogant Bastard Ale bottle as the coolant overflow, interior door handles fashioned from combination wrenches, a flaming skull shift knob and a cargo bed partially built with speed limit signs. In back are two taillights from a 1959 Cadillac.
Inside, the three-spoke steering wheel has been drilled out for lightness and has a matching Brodie Knob. In the cargo bed is the vehicle’s fuel cell. The black bench seat is in very good order.
Rhatigan has been driving cars since he was 10 and building cars since he was 16. When he was in his 20s he opened the best body shop on Long Island, New York. Although he was born and raised there, he discovered a love of snow skiing shortly thereafter. He and a friend organized an Alta Ski Club with six or eight friends from New York. They came to Utah every March for several years. He fell in love with the beautiful mountains and he made the decision to move to Utah when he was 40.
Finally, he came out and drove past the original little shop at 587 S Main St. in Springville and saw a lot of potential. Upon buying the place, he built a state of the art, 10,000-square-foot shop, paved the parking lot and made many other improvements to the property.

About Dodge
Dodge Brothers Company, founded by Horace and John Dodge in 1900, initially produced components for car manufacturers. In 1914 they stepped into car manufacturing when introducing four-cylinder Dodge Model 30 with all-steel body and 12v electric system.

By 1920 Dodge had become the second biggest car manufacturer in the USA, unfortunately the same year both of the brothers died, the company in turn to was sold to Chrysler Corporation in 1928. Dodge found a niche Chrysler Corporation lineup above low-priced Plymouth and medium-priced DeSoto, but somewhat below the top-of-the-line Chrysler
