Vehicle Description
The late 30s Fords were popular with everyone. As daily drivers,
and especially as street rods. And they still are. They look great
with their unique grill and timeless styling. As street rods, they
have modern running gear that makes them comfortable and reliable
with plenty of room for friends to join you on your adventures.
This car is presented in a pleasing shade of orange with a custom,
tri-tone pin stripe running front to back that is the perfect
compliment to the body lines and orange paint. This is an older
build that has been treated well, and still looks better today than
many fresh builds. The unique look starts up front with the
dramatic, narrow, convex front grill with fine horizontal bars that
reaches all the way to the ground. On each side, the headlights
flow smoothly into the valley between the hood and the fenders like
they were shaped by the wind. The fenders themselves present a
wide, bold stance when viewed from the front, and a classic 30's
look from the side. That look is enhanced by the vents in the side
of the hood and the wide running boards leading back to the rear
fenders that mimic the front ones. Body lines swoop down smoothly
over the trunk and around the fenders to taper off just over the
twin chrome exhaust pipes.
Open the door you will find a very nice custom beige interior with
splashes of orange sprinkled tastefully about. There are special
door panels with pressed in texture, and wood trim around the
controls in the armrest that complement the beige and orange
nicely. You will be anxious to jump into those scrumptious looking
power seats, and then, won't want to get out of them. So, you may
want to let your friends into the back seat first so that they can
enjoy the ride too. A four-spoke, leather wrapped wheel sits in
front of a nicely appointed, orange dash panel with the speedo,
tach, and basic engine gauges. Ventilation controls are off to the
right-hand side, and rocker switches are set into a fabric lower
panel. There is also a Pioneer sound system that is XM and MP3
compatible. If you choose to, there is a great looking removable
hardtop that can be installed for protection from the elements, or
for long distance cruising to the beach where it can be removed
again for local cruising.
Under the hood, which is uniquely side hinged, you will find a
nicely dressed 350 cubic inch V8 sitting in an engine bay trimmed
in orange, and polished as nicely as the outside of the car. Topped
by a Vintage V8 air filter housing, it feeds a chromed-out engine
that includes polished valve covers, A/C compressor and alternator.
Power feeds back through a four-speed automatic transmission with
overdrive to a solid rear axle sitting on leaf springs with coil
over springs and shocks providing a little assistance, and also
rake and ride height adjustability. The front suspension is a
control arm set up with coil springs, and steering is by rack and
pinion. Front disc brakes assure that you can haul this sweet ride
down to a stop quickly at need, and the whole car sits on Billet
Specialties wheels with 255/35ZR20 tires in the rear and 21545/R17
in the front.
Come on down and check out this sweet looking '37 Ford. It's
comfortable, looks great, and drives great. You may decide to throw
some luggage in the trunk and head out on some adventures with
it.
