1933 Ford Model 40 Street Rod
Car History
Many street rodders feel the 1933 Ford Five-Window Coupe is one of
the ultimate cars you can build and enjoy in the hobby.
The look of the iconic front grille with its pointed forward slope
at the bottom which resembled either a spade or a Medieval shield,
the new hood which now covered the cowl, giving an impression of
more length, in addition to the more rounded and skirted fenders
and elegantly bowed bumpers, make up this overall super looking
body style.
We have a very special one here at Adventure Classics that has an
all-steel body with a small block Chevy 350 cubic inch engine with
air, built by C & C rod shop that has had an extremely well done
high dollar restoration on it.
Engine & Drivetrain
Ours is powered by a small block Chevy 350 cubic inch engine with
around 350 horsepower to make this lightweight Street Rod very
quick. It has a performance carb, chrome aluminum intake, billet
aluminum valve covers, performance distributor, performance plug
wires, chrome open element air cleaner, polished air conditioning,
chrome exhaust cover shielding, with the gasses running to the
performance mufflers that exit out the rear in the dual exhaust and
sound fantastic.
The power is sent back to the automatic transmission, then to the
performance Corvette rear end and suspension, and then delivered to
the ground with large polished Halibrand 5-spoke mag wheels and
meaty performance black wall tires.
This is a well-built, clean show car that is ready to cruise. The
underside was done nearly as nicely as the top and the car runs and
drives great.
Interior
This rod has a real two-tone tan and gray leather interior that is
gorgeous with the fully custom seats and the matching door panels.
The chrome tilt billet steering wheel allows plenty of room while
the VDO performance gauges monitor the functions as you ride in
comfort in the air conditioning, raise the power windows, or shift
the tranny with the large shifter.
It has so many other subtle things on it like the matching
upholstered "rumble seat", black top panel, and rear third brake
light that has been custom made and added.
Exterior
The body is an all-steel body and our 5-window coupe is stunning in
the flashy black paint that gives it a very definite show car
vibe.
Finish quality is excellent with laser-straight sheet metal, great
door fit on the suicide doors, and even gaps all around. It has
chrome oversized headlights, that iconic chromed front grill, and
actually looks better in person than it does in these pics.
Conclusion
It will be very hard for you to ever find a custom 1933 Ford
5-Window Coupe like the one we have here at Adventure Classics.
It is done right with no expense spared and it looks like what a
street rod should be from every angle.
