Vehicle Description
It's no shrinking violet we have here. Wearing a high impact shade
over its exterior, this 1937 Ford Slantback has an undeniably high
impact visual presence and distinctive style that combines with a
comfortable driving experience to really set this streetrod apart
from the crowd. Add to that a drivetrain that's in top form and you
have a bona fide formula for plenty of fun on the asphalt.
This is a classic that's sure to pull attention wherever it goes.
The wow factor is already built in via its distinctive color - the
fuchsia paint this '37 draws you in right away and a closer
inspection will reveal that it's been skillfully applied and
remains in clean shape - though a comprehensive detail will elevate
it even further. The dramatic pinstriping running along its sides
wears razor sharp edges and has a nice, consistent pigmentation and
the chrome that's on board here is really looking solid. Fords from
this era wore show-stopping front grilles and this one represents
that styling cue very nicely, the pair of close set tailpipes
peeking out from beneath the rear bumper is a great visual. Its
lowered stance is in keeping with the modded sensibilities it wears
and there's still enough clearance to make driving in everyday
conditions a definite option - a third brake light has been
installed in back to make things just a little safer in
traffic.
The well-configured interior offers plush comfortable seating in
the form of a pair of late-model contoured buckets up front and a
broad bench seat in back, both of which wear gray cloth covers that
are in top form, with no noticeable discoloration and only the
slightest of wear. The door panels to each side are in good shape
and are emblazoned with a "37" to proclaim this streetrod's
identity. Climb inside and you'll notice right away just how
spacious this cabin is - in particular there's an ample amount of
rear legroom so your backseat passengers can really stretch out. A
leather wrapped Lecarra steering wheel is perched on a tilting
column that puts it in just the right position for maximum comfort
and the color matched dash area just beyond it is another strong
feature, with a full assortment of gold rimmed VDO gauges whose
parchment faces and antique font blend perfectly with this setting.
A Pioneer stereo pairs with Audio Vox speakers to tend to your
audio requests while out on the road.
Beneath the hood, there'll be plenty of dependable power at your
disposal in the form of a 350 cubic inch V8 that sits in a nicely
maintained engine compartment. A chrome Edelbrock air cleaner and
chrome valve covers elevate its visual appeal, while the added
Edelbrock intake manifold and 4-barrel carb optimize its output.
The powerplant receives a nice hot spark via the added MSD ignition
and is running strong, sending a nice, rich note out of its
MagnaFlow dual exhaust as it pairs with a smooth shifting 3-speed
automatic transmission. The drivetrain is rounded out by a 9" Ford
rear end known for its durability. In addition to its considerable
aesthetics, this vintage Ford is a reassuringly strong driver
that's easily navigated via the added rack and pinion steering that
eliminates the excessive play in more antiquated systems and the
front disc brakes provide fade resistant stops. A set of
ultra-clean, staggered Foose wheels - 17" in front and 18" in back
- adds just the right finishing touch to this charismatic street
machine.
A great combination of magnetic curb appeal and compelling driving
experience puts this 1937 Ford Slantback in rare company. Call
