It's almost unavoidable to see cars from the '30s and '40s and not picture them in a wild hot-rod outfit. Everybody looks with admiration at those modified cars, and Deuces are an outstanding example, but we're glad someone decided to preserve them in their original condition.

Cool classic cars that have been brought back to their stock glory — either in its entirety or partly — are generally sold for a lot of money. However, there are some restored classic cars out there that are still surprisingly cheap. Here are our favorite ones.

8 1937 Ford Phaeton - $13,200

Via mecum.com

The Ford Phaeton was a cool open automobile without any fixed weather protection, which was popular from the 1900s until the 1930s. Like many phaeton-styled cars, it was an automotive equivalent of the horse-drawn fast, lightweight phaeton carriage.

This unrestored and rust-free unit features its original 221 cu in flathead V8 engine. Old school is the keyword: 2-barrel carburetors and 3-speed transmission make the drive experience on this car a real back-to-the-past dive.

Americans have always loved pick-up trucks, and this clean Chevy could make everybody understand better the reasons why. It simply looks gorgeous, and its restoration was perfectly carried out.

The truck is packing a robust 6-cylinder engine and a 3-speed transmission. Featuring its original wheels this truck contributed to the ideal of the American strong and reliable pick up, always ready for any duties. This unit was listed for less than $15,000  at Mecum.

6 1934 Ford Fordor Sedan - $16,000

Via mecum.com

This 1934 Ford is presented in its stock condition and also the interior upholstery seems to be original. No fancy reinterpretation lead sled solutions or reupholstery with fancy and bright fabric or leather. It comes just as Ford made it.

The name "flat head" was not used at the time of its debut: in fact, this denomination refers to the fact that the engine did not yet use the overhead valve technology (at the time still rare), so on the two heads of the V8 there were only the combustion chambers, without other components or other devices (except of course the spark plugs), hence the name "flat head".

5 1940 Mercury Eight Club Convertible - $17,600

Via mecum.com

Mercury Eight was a winning car in terms of sales figures. Especially the years between 1949 and 1951 are highly sought-after by collectors and hot rodders. This is a 1940 model, and its design doesn't even seem related to its age. In its futuristic look, this Mercury is a stunning example of the 9,741 Club Convertibles produced in 1940.

Via mecum.com

The car is powered by a 239 cu in Flathead V8 engine and mated to a column-mounted 3-speed transmission. The exterior is finished in Maroon with Tan leather interior, and the black soft top with red piping is what could make a Sunday drive something more engaging and enjoyable.

4 1927 Lincoln Model L Coupe - $22,550

Via mecum.com

Henry Leland was one of the founders of Cadillac, and after being engaged in producing V12 engines for military aircraft, left the company to found Lincoln car company, which aim was that of making high-end, luxury vehicles. The Model L was the first of the production, and it was released in 1920.

Via mecum.com

What's interesting about this clean Lincoln Model L Coupe is the classy but not-so-obvious two-tone light blue and black body, which was restored to perfection by Judkins. A 358 cu in V8 engine is the heart of the Lincoln, which is mated to a sliding gear 3-speed manual transmission. A golf bag compartment completes the trim of the car, and the wood spoke wheels are the ultimate detail.

3 1933 Buick Coupe - $24,000

Via mecum.com

Here is another unit that has been saved from a potential hot rod transformation. It's a '33 Buick Coupe. It features a 230 cu in overhead-valve inline-8 engine and, mated with a Synchromesh 3-speed manual transmission, it delivers 86 HP.

Via mecum.com

To give it a more modern look, there are orange wire wheels with chromed center caps, coupled with classy whitewall tires. The car presents its fully stock chrome dress: lights, dual horns, bumpers, mirrors, and running board trim. The interior also features a period-correct matching black gauge panel and glove box door in a sculpted wood dash. The price of this nice restored Buick is ridiculous.

2 1942 Buick Roadmaster Sedanette - $26,400

Via mecum.com

This Buick Sedanette is 1 of 2,475 produced, less than 3% of total Buick production in 1942. It comes in its fancy Salt Lake Green paint and is adorned by its original chrome bars, windows' profiles, and center caps.

Via mecum.com

We're glad that this car has been preserved in its original condition so that its curvy and sophisticated design emerges in all its elegance. Everything seems to be connected by curvy and well-designed lines, like those who link the fenders skirts to the hood itself. Gorgeous beauty for a little money.

1 1934 Ford Roadster - $32,000

Via mecum.com

Ford classics have a prominent role in everything that has to do with simplicity and timeless beauty. The magic formula might reside in those huge chrome front grille, which leaves no room for other details except for the large and chrome round lights. The lines are soft but clean at the same time, a perfect frame for a gorgeous '34 Roadster.

Via mecum.com

The car has been restored in its elegant former shape, but on the inside, there is a 1983 Buick V8 engine with an Edelbrock carburetor, mated with its Buick automatic transmission. $32,000 for a rumbling and clean Roadster isn't that much, and could probably be a super cool convertible for a Sunday drive.
