Stone Cold Crimson Ghost
With its tough but tailored design, “Crimson Ghost” evokes the film noir style of classic 1930s gangster movies. The 1937 Ford Coupe combines graceful, curving lines with aggressive accents like a lowered roof, sharply pointed trim, thick acrylic headlights, and a custom angled grill. Part of a series of cars in the Hetfield collection that accentuate the styling of 1930s stock cars, “Crimson Ghost” is a bridge between the coarse design of “Iron Fist” and the elegant aesthetic of “Voodoo Priest.”
