Vehicle Description
1932 Ford 5-Window Coupe
They've been building cars for 71 years since Henry Ford introduced
the body style that followed the Model T's 19-year run and the
Model A's 4-year stretch. It was in production for barely a year,
and yet to this day, no other car has been as popular among hot
rodders as it has. It is the car that appears more than any other
in hot rod enthusiast magazines. It is the car that has been
treated to literally every conceivable form of performance and
appearance modification. It is the car that appeared on the very
first cover of ROD & CUSTOM. It is the car that has appeared at
least once in every issue of Hot Rod Network going back as far as
anyone can remember. It is the car practically everybody
immediately thinks of when they hear the term "hot rod." We're
talking about the '32 Ford, known to you and me simply as the
Deuce.
For consignment, the iconic hot rod Deuce in 5 window form. This
one is a Bee-Bop fiberglass body, with a custom "hood", steel
grille shell, and a TCI chassis. With the fiberglass kit, one can
go hog wild on the customization and this one is no exception. Our
consignor didn't build this simply for show, he built it to be
driven, and it's made the 2 and 4 hour trips to both York and
Syracuse for the street rod shows. oink!
Please note, this vehicle is titled as a "Special Construction",

Exterior
With a chopped top and well minded gaps for the mixture of steel
and fiberglass it's all showing up for the ball in tuxedo black. A
chromed front glass frame adds some highlighting to the front of
the car, as do side view mirrors, headlight bezels and the open
front suspension. An open cowl does the trick for this car to show
off that beautiful mill and the loads of pinstriping making
appearances on the radiator corral, firewall and behind the engine
bay make for just the right look and feel baby bear. On the back a
nicely curved downward rear deck has round tail lights with the
chrome rear axle and suspension below. Keeping the flourish
pinstripe theme going, the truck lid has been fully decked out and
even includes a fire breathing elephant, giving a nod to what lurks
up front. Fenders have been shaved for weight and now we can see 15
and 16-inch red painted steel wheels on the corners with shiny trim
rings and Ford logoed dog dish caps. Like new 7.50R15's are in
front and own back for the track are 31x12.50R16LTs both courtesy
of Hoosier with Atlas whitewalls. Which way to the salt flats?
Interior
Custom to say the least with conveniences added. Noted upfront is a
black dash with brushed stainless framing and a V8 etched central
insert. Within this center insert are a 5-some of black face VDO
gauges with shiny bezels. Fronting this work of art is a tilt
column from Ididit, topped with an Ididit banjo style rally
steering wheel with a black padded rim. There are power toggles for
the tinted glass in the doors, for the cooling fan controller, and
Vintage Air has been added. The chairs and door panels use tuck and
roll pleated retina searing red colored vinyl and are looking fine
and dandy. Black carpeting floods the floors, and in the middle the
parking brake handle resides within its leather boot. Overall, a
nice presentation, even in the electrically operated truck with
full black carpeting.
Drivetrain
Peering into the fully exposed engine bay we soak in the totally
chrome, black and red detailed 291ci Desoto Hemi V8 circa 1955. It
has an aluminum water pump from Hot Heads as well as their valve
covers, distributor and ignition wires. On top is a Vintage Speed
intake and a set of 4 Stromberg carburetors right from jolly old
England. Just behind this mill is a Gearstar 700R4 transmission
4-speed automatic. On the back is a Ford 9" rear axle that has been
dipped in chrome. Limefire headers, all chromed are on, and we note
the installation of electric cutoutsso you can really make some
noise. On the cooling end, a Champion aluminum radiator has been
installed with a brushless variable speed cooling fan.
Undercarriage
TCI provides the frame and attached to it are Pete and Jake's 4 bar
front suspension with a transverse leafspring and in back is a
ladder barstyle suspension along with coilovers. Loaded with
quality parts, notable are Super Stopper front disc brakes with 4
piston calipers and drum brakes for the rear. A glass pack style
exhaust steals the exhale from the headers and throws it to the
rear of the car.
Drive-Ability
Starts right up and begins growling immediately. Move that column
shifter to D and let the horses begin to release as you put your
riding boots into it. It handles nicely, is a great cruiser, and
all the conveniences added work flawlessly. Seats are "ultra"
comfortable, and this car can make some nice noise.
Meticulous build attention, some of the finest parts, great paint,
many conveniences and we have one of the nicest turnkey deuce
coupes that has graced our halls in a while. Hard to find many
faults on this build, and hard to resist making a solid buy that
will yield years of enjoyment. This car has won plenty of awards,
comes with a battery tender and a Deathproof Duck car cover and as
of this moment, all it needs is you to continue the winning
streak!
