Vehicle Description
It's a fact: it is absolutely impossible to build an ugly '33 Ford.
This fantastic 1933 Ford 4-door sedan is ample proof, with a
perfect hot-rod stance, a killer two-tone color combination,
powerful 350 V8 engine, the practicality of four doors, and all the
creature comforts you'd expect of a high-quality build.
First off, this rod is 100% steel, including the beautifully
sculpted swooping fenders and running boards, which certainly
explains why this '33 looks so darn good. Even without a major
chopped top, the sedan body style looks sleek and low with that
awesome rake to the stance, and with lots of window area you know
it was made to drive. The two-tone, Ebony Black over Viper Red
finish was a perfect choice, and freeing up the clutter by removing
the bumpers and most of the trim has really streamlined this sedan.
High-end paint really helps too, and both the deep black finish up
top and lustrous red finish below were laid down to a nearly show
standard, with hardly any imperfections to report. The two colors
are separated by a white spear that encircles the body, a sunroof
was added up top, and we love that they kept chrome door handles in
place to amplify this Ford's 4-door design, instead of trying to
hide it. With a chrome grille shell and shiny hood ornament,
there's no mistaking this as anything but a pre-war Ford, and the
King Bee style headlights look fantastic nestled between that
grille and the swooping fenders. The paint is a handsome, high-end
two-stage urethane, but with no graphics, no flames, or nothing
that detracts from the classic shape, this streetrod will always
look timeless. Kudos to the builders for getting this one exactly
right. There's even a cleverly hidden gas cap out back that was
installed flush against the rear of the body, and the protruding
blue-dot taillights and dual chrome exhaust pipes down below add to
the hotrod vibe.
Suicide-style doors were factory-issue on sedans in 1933, so
stepping inside is easy. Once you're in there, you'll find lovely
black leather buckets accented with white inserts that are as
luxurious as anything you'll buy today. Those two buckets up front
fit neatly in the vintage sedan, and the full-sized, sculpted rear
bench is comfortable for full-sized adults. The original dash has
been beautifully re-created, wrapped in leather, and then filled
with black-faced VDO gauges ahead of the driver that keep an eye on
the upgraded motor under the hood. Controls for a full Vintage A/C
system were installed in the center (though it does look to need a
service), while just below a console stack was incorporated to
match the dash, and it houses billet A/C vents, a Kenwood
AM/FM/CD/AUX head unit, the command module for the RideTech
suspension installed blow, and switches for the power windows and
locks. A flashy leather-wrapped billet steering wheel mounted atop
a polished tilt column anchors the spacious cabin and feels great
in the hands of the driver, while the ornate door panels, plush
carpets, and custom leather headliner show that nothing was done
halfway inside.
With the hood closed, there's no way to know what lives within, and
that's part of this rod's magic. The truth is, there's an upgraded
GM 350 V8 crate motor in there, a smooth, torquey powerplant that
makes this big sedan move like it weighs 100 pounds less than it
actually does. A tuned-in 6-pack carburetor set-up from Edelbrock
feeds the powerful small block with the help of steel fuel rails
and steel-braided lines, and the presentation is wonderfully
old-school, with six individual air cleaners and matching valve
covers all adding flash inside the finished red engine bay. and a
serpentine belt drive system for the accessories ensures
reliability. A TH350 3-speed automatic transmission is easily stout
enough to handle the engine's output, while a full custom RideTech
air-ride suspension punctuated with upgraded A-arms, trailing arms,
shocks, rack-and-pinion steering, and power 4-wheel disc brakes all
make this '33 a dream to drive. Staggered Boyd Coddington wheels
look right with lots of performance rubber wrapped around them,
205/40/17s up front and 245/45/18s in back.
Beautifully built and totally reliable, this dialed-in 1933 Ford
Sedan is what every hot rod aspires to be. Call today!
