Vehicle Description
This 1932 Ford Highboy roadster was not only built with an eye for
aesthetics and a hunger for power, but it's also equipped with some
great options that dramatically improve its real-world drivability,
making it a truly inspired "ride for all seasons". It's logged just
under 100 miles since its build - just enough to test the
outstanding work that went into making it the great looking and
well-appointed street machine it is today.
You'll notice right away that the exterior color, known as
Washington blue, really makes this Ford stand out. It's a nice
departure from the "brighter is better" logic you often see when it
comes time to choose a hue for a vintage car, and it's a deep shade
that seems to add quality to everything it touches. Step a little
closer and you'll see that it's also been applied exceedingly well
- no waviness or orange peel to be found here. The array of chrome
that's on display in the form of its headlight casings, windshield
frame, side mirrors and the cylindrical front and rear bumpers is
also in optimal condition. Being this fresh off of an extensive
rebuild certainly has its advantages. Up front, the open sides of
the engine compartment reveal the V8 power that's on display, but
should you desire a more finished look, a pair of side covers come
with the car and install quickly. Topping the list of welcome
options that make this roadster a versatile ride you can enjoy in a
variety of weather conditions is a gray canvas convertible top
that's in great shape and attaches firmly in place to protect you
and your passenger from the elements.
There no shortage of impressive attractions featured inside the
doors. A pair of very comfortable two- tone bucket seats sit front
and center, sporting a color scheme that ably incorporates the
styling cues of the exterior, flanked by matching door panels and
with a convenient cupholder sitting nearby. As you take your
position behind the woodgrain steering wheel that's mounted on a
chrome, tilting Ididit column, you can't help but be impressed by
the dash area - an expanse of shiny blue steel that holds a full
set of Autometer gauges, as well as a pair of ventilation registers
that bring the cooled air produced by the Vintage Air climate
control system into the cabin to keep everyone comfortable. A
Kenwood AM/FM stereo with USB and iPod connectivity stands ready to
provide the soundtrack for your journeys. Clearly, the builder of
this vintage classic intended his or her work to be driven and not
just admired while standing still. The storage area in back is
lined with plush gray carpeting, with a covered full size spare
sitting in place, just in case an unforeseen road hazard puts a
temporary dent in your plans.
That powerplant on display through the sides of the engine
compartment is a 350-cubic inch V8 that's paired with a 3-speed
automatic transmission to make for a strong performing but
dependable drivetrain. Combine the fresh motor with suspension and
steering components that have yet to see any appreciable wear and
you have yourself a veritable attention magnet that runs and drives
just as great as it looks. This very sharp and very well configured
vintage drop top sits on a set of 15" Billet Specialties wheels
outfitted with BF Goodrich T/A radials that include a pair of road
gripping 285s in back.
This 1932 Ford Highboy roadster is not only a pleasure to behold,
but an absolute blast to take on the road. Call today!
