Vehicle Description
For those of you who like the old-school look in a hotrod, this
1932 Chevrolet Sedan Streetrod should be right up your alley. In a
sea of roadsters and coupes, this 4-door sedan offers a lot of
features that you can't get anywhere else, including a custom A/C
interior big enough for the whole family and excellent road manners
to go with its vintage performance look. Powered by a strong 350 V8
and offered with some choice options, this steel-bodied Chevy is
turn-key and ready to go.
That's right, the body is indeed steel, a rarity in this day of
entire fiberglass replicas. As a result, it has a solid feeling
that is lost on many rods like this, and the way those doors close
is something you just can't find on today's cars. The Chevy's
styling is a bit out-of-the-ordinary compared to all the Fords you
see running around, and to our eyes, it's very refreshing to see.
We especially dig the way the rear of the bodywork flows out to
follow the curve of the rear fenders, making for ideal proportions
on the body. Vivid colors are always a great choice on a '30s car,
and the custom White-over-Purple color combination is very
striking, giving this this sedan quite the street presence. The
paint is top driver-quality, nice enough to show locally but not so
perfect you'll be afraid to drive it any day of the week, and the
way the purple finish transitions on the fenders and running boards
really puts this streetrod over the top. Sure, it's not a trailer
queen, but this streetrod was meant to be driven and is beaming
with curb appeal. Fortunately, the bodywork is in good shape
underneath that glowing paint and it's been accented with many cool
details, including that fine mesh grille insert, the custom
headlights and lightbar, and chrome front bumper and matching rear
bumperettes. Other cool features include hood vents, rubber-covered
running boards, Bowtie side mirrors and LED taillights, and a
frenched-in license plate holder that all work to dress things up a
bit.
The fully reworked tweed interior is absolutely stunning dressed in
high-quality pink-and-purple, and if you like the color
combination, you're going to love spending time in here. The modern
split-bench seat is supremely comfortable and in great shape, while
the matching rear bench seat has been seldom used. The upscale
upholstery patterns feature classic tweed patterns that suit the
car perfectly and the matching door panels, headliner, and covered
dash are a great touch. VDO gauges installed in the woodgrain
portion of the dash keep tabs on the important stuff up front, and
there's a comfortable late-model steering wheel atop a tilt column
that really stands out. Features like R134a A/C and power windows
add to the driving experience, making this a car that's ideal for
long-distance hauls, and a Kenwood AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo provides the
tunes. That aforementioned full-width rear bench makes room for
some friends or family, the purple carpets are plush, and the
entire cabin was fully insulated to protect it from outdoor
elements.
Power comes from a 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 with the usual upgraded
goodies to make every drive highly entertaining. There's great pop
inside, a Go EFI fuel-injection set-up, an HEI ignition system
powering it all, and plenty of chrome and polished bits to make it
flashy under the hood. It starts easily and runs well, so start
planning your road trip now. A TH350 3-speed automatic transmission
and heavy-duty rear end are critical links in the reliability
chain, and the burbling dual exhaust uses throaty-sounding Super
Turbo mufflers to make that awesome sound without getting annoying.
The front suspension is a Mustang II setup with rack-and-pinion
steering and front disc brakes, so it steers and handles like a
modern car, and there are coilover shocks out back that help set
the stance perfectly. Bright wire wheels look great and carry
185/65/15 front and 205/70/15 rear performance tires for a slightly
staggered look that doesn't rub in corners.
A very cool, well-built rod that's definitely going to get lots of
attention everywhere it goes. If you love practical, unusual rods,
this slick Chevy gets everything right. Call today!
