Vehicle Description
While we can't fully explain the phenomenon, but there are
collectors and enthusiasts in the hobby who will spend huge piles
of money to have a professional shop build an incredible,
show-stopping streetrod, only to then sell them before the nubs are
even worn off the tires. This 1937 Ford Cabriolet Coast to Coast
Roadster is just such a beast. Pro-built by the experts at Dusold
Designs, it's a dazzling creation with only 1,787 shakedown miles
that features a killer paint job, luxurious interior, performance
chassis, and a built powertrain. If you're ready to collect
trophies, this fascinating car is probably the shortest path to
that goal.
Appearances are everything, and there's not another vehicle in our
inventory with this kind of curb appeal. The customized Coast to
Coast fiberglass body seamlessly combines styling elements of the
'36, '37, and '38 Fords, but ultimately becomes something unto
itself in the process. And that something is downright amazing.
Still retaining the slick Art-Deco look of the original, but now
sporting a serious attitude and a modern flair, there's no question
this is a high-end piece. Finish work is spectacular, with no way
of telling that this is a glass body without rapping your knuckles
against it. The custom red paint is what you'd expect from a shop
famous for its outrageous finishes and award-winning work, with a
shine that's about a mile deep and killer multi-stage flame
graphics on the sides that pop out like 3D renderings. Even up
close, the illusion is quite convincing, and it's all buried under
a urethane clearcoat, so it'll look great practically forever.
Suicide-style doors have been shaved of any external handles the
front grille is custom-designed and beautifully rendered in
polished chrome, and the trick rear end includes an integrated LED
strip taillight. From any angle, this car just looks amazing.
You can't build a car like this without employing an artist to
build the interior for you, and this one doesn't disappoint.
Supportive bucket seats are wrapped in lovely Italian tan leather
that's the perfect contrast to the bright red paintwork. More like
a high-end luxury convertible than a hot rod, it includes all the
modern conveniences like Vintage A/C, power windows and locks,
remote door poppers, a billet steering wheel with a leather rim set
atop a chrome tilt column, and a kickin' Kenwood
AM/FM/CD/AUX/Satellite stereo system with enough power to light up
a small city. An amazing custom center console houses several
controls and a Lokar shifter for the automatic transmission below.
That cascading console brings the exterior style and color inside
the cabin, and it flows into the dashboard that features a classy
set of VDO white-face gauges that are neatly organized in the
center. All the working parts have been cleverly hidden under the
dash and out of sight, and this car includes a Time Machines
Stay-Fast hidden cloth convertible top that seals up tight when
it's on. The carpets are plush and insulate the vehicle from road
noise and heat, and the custom door panels are absolutely stunning.
There's even a fully upholstered trunk complete with removable
panels, and it has enough room for all the trophies this streetrod
will be winning in the near future.
With a car like this, you want reliable power that will cruise with
ease at any speed, and the fuel-injected 5.7L LS1 V8 Street and
Performance motor under the pointed hood is happy to oblige, with
big horsepower on tap. Neatly detailed with plenty of dress-up, it
features custom painted valve covers (check out the matching
flames!) and an S&P chrome intake that essentially covers the
entire engine and all the tight-fitting accessories that snuggle it
into the narrow engine bay. The transmission is a modern 4L60
4-speed automatic overdrive unit feeding a custom-fit Ford 9-inch
rear end with a 3.70 posi-traction gear ratio inside. The
purpose-built suspension features tubular A-arms, a 4-link, and a
full Air Ride airbag system that sets the stance and handles the
corners, and a modern power steering system and Wilwood 4-wheel
power disc brakes ensure a safe and exciting drive every time. As
beautifully finished as the rest of the car, the chassis should
probably be displayed with mirrors (everything is painted to match,
including the entire drivetrain from front to back), although it
was built to drive, so maybe that's what you should do instead. The
booming Magnaflow dual exhaust system dumps out right before the
rear end and sounds fantastic from almost any distance. Staggered
Budnick Rockers are show polished and wear 205/50/17 front and
295/30/18 rear Goodyear performance radials that finish off this
killer look.
If you've drooled over the pro-built rods in magazines, here's your
chance to put just such a machine in your garage for a fraction of
the build cost. Quite frankly, we only scratched the surface
describing all that went into this build, and how awesome this
streetrod really is. Give us a shout and let one of our associates
tell you the rest of the story, because it's darn impressive. Call
