This 1933 Ford Speedster Coupe for sale was created by Downs Manufacturing and is a high quality street rod. The car was built for show in 2006. She was purposely enhanced to provide a higher quality of handling performance, as well as a more comfortable fit for drivers, which is not common in most speedster street rods.
The beautiful design of high-quality fiberglass and steel has been channeled an extra 4 inches in width on the side panels and hood. This provides for additional room for the driver and engine. This enhancement also provides a longer and lower profile look that incorporates less aerodynamic drag and a better handling experience while driving. In addition, the wheelbase was lengthened from 112” to 115” to provide better high performance handling when driving the car.
These detailed enhancements listed above along with the 3 1/2 chopped top were designed specifically to make a one of a kind Speedster to show that handled better, looked sleeker and made drivers feel more comfortable while driving this beautiful car.
While she was designed after the 3 Window High Boy Speedster, she does not look like a regular High Boy Speedster. With all the added features listed below, you will see why she was built to show, but can be driven whenever you have that need for speed.
