And now we present one of the most interesting categories of the '09 Speedhunters Awards - Rat of the Year. While some may dislike the term "rat", there's really no better word to describe these cars. Some of these machines may be works in progress, and others may be purposely built to have the rat look. Whatever the case, there's no denying the appeal of a rat, whether it's a traditional "rat rod" or say, a more modern car like the Stanceworks BMW.

Take a good look through the nominees shown below and post your choice in the comments section.

Bare Metal Chevrolet Fastback

Newstalgia Wheel 1931 Model A

13B swapped Bug

Bare Metal Drag-Rod

Yuta Akaishi Datsun 240Z

Hmmm this is a HARD one. I really like the very first photo. What ever that is, is amazing! For the others, I really liked Little Boy Ford (who knows how that huge man driving that car got in there!) and Tractor Rod, although I was disappointed that I could not see the front. Zombie Rod is cool too.

Zombie Rod 1927 Model T. Because the owner embraces the spirit of ratrodding. Driving across the country in that machine to support boneville speedweek shows an amazing commitment to what rat rodding is and the car hobby in general, not giving a damn about what other people think and just enjoying the freedom à car actually can give you!

Little Boy 1930 Ford the 240z isnt even a rat rod "A rat rod is a style of hot rod or custom car that, in most cases, imitates (or exaggerates) the early hot rods of the 40s, 50s, and 60s."
