History[]
Kept by Tony Stark[]
Tony Stark works on his car
- "Give me an exploded view."
"The compression in cylinder three appears to be low."
"Log that." - ―Tony Stark and J.A.R.V.I.S.[src]
In the morning after having spent the night with Christine Everhart, Tony Stark decided to stall his flight to Kunar and instead go to his garage to work on his roadster. While working on the engine, Stark asked J.A.R.V.I.S. for an expanded view where J.A.R.V.I.S. noted of lower compression in cylinder three, which Stark wanted logged. When developing his Mark III armor months later, Stark got the idea of painting it "hot rod red" when he looked at his car.[2]
Stark revealed his dual identity as Iron Man and transformed his workshop into a Hall of Armors, but the Ford Roadster was the only car left from his original collection which was kept in his garage.[3]

In an alternate universe, Tony Stark worked on his Ford Flathead Roadster with his father growing up. A picture was taken of the two of them working on it which Stark held onto. Stark kept the car after his father died and worked on it the day he was meant to leave for Afghanistan.
