Emelia Hartford is taking social media by storm again, this time by showcasing her car collection on her YouTube channel, which already has more than 798K subscribers.
Hartford has become an automotive influencer of repute and is also a SAG-AFTRA actress who has appeared in movies such as Nightfall and From Mexico with Love. She has also been a host of various car shows and her YouTube channel has almost reached 95 million views. So obviously, she is doing everything right, and here’s a sneak peek into all that she drives.
Hartford Has A Love For Nissan
At the very beginning of the video, she talks about how she used to have a Nissan G35 Infinity which got hit and she lost it. But because she loved the car so much, she decided to stick to the Nissan family for one of her first builds, and so got a Nissan 240SX. But this was back when V8s were considered the ultimate so her Nissan carries an LS1 small-block Chevy V8.
It was in rough shape, obviously, and Hartford lists out all the extensive changes made to it, courtesy of her sponsors. She also makes sure to tell the viewers that her popularity is all because of her audience and her sponsors so she wants to mention all the help she has received, without sounding too pluggy about it. The checkered Nissan 240SX is certainly a winner in our eyes.
The Unlikely Car: A Toyota Prius
By now, Hartford has turned the Prius into a racecar too but back when she bought it, she took it on as a daily driver because her Subaru kept breaking down and she needed something reliable to get her from point A to point B.
She calls it a Pronda, simply because it’s a Honda-swapped Prius. From then she moves on to another Nissan 240SX and the rev of that engine sends chills down our spine.

Hartford mentions how she had only done drift racing until she appeared on Netflix’s Fastest Car and finally fell for drag racing. And so, she bought her grandmother’s 1979 Buick Regal and turned it into a beasty drag car that’s missing its hood on purpose. This much power cannot be contained.
She then goes on to talk about her dream car, a beautiful red 2000 Impreza, engine swapped and modified to Hartford’s brand of perfection, of course.
Post this, come her modern buys, starting with the C8 Corvette, the one that was the most powerful for a while, a Ford Mustang she calls Trader, and finally the cherry on top, a Ferrari 458 Italia that is mostly stock — for now. It’s Hartford’s Ferrari, of course, and likely to become even more exciting than it already is.
