For Sale: 1932 Ford Model A in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1932 Ford Model A Pickup

The 1932 Ford has been admired by both enthusiasts and engineers ever since its introduction three-quarters of a century ago. Also called the Deuce because of the "2" in the model year, it was the world's first popularly priced car to offer a V8 engine. A '32 Ford featured a lot of firsts and also lasts, which helped endear it to hot rodders. It was the first year of the flathead V-8, which was the first V-8 in an affordable, mass market automobile. 1932 Fords survived much better, leading to greater availability, which kept a lid on prices.

For consignment, a deuce rodded 32 Ford pickup truck. Not your everyday pickup but a rolling work of automotive art. A pickup like none other you'll see, that has had a ton of time put into the rebuild to a rodded truck, with all details paid attention to. A veritable who's who of parts manufacturers and now a unique piece that no one else will even come close to imitating!! I'll call it little boy blue, but it will leave you green with envy!

Exterior
Time to bone up on some of your rodding terms so stay with me while I give you the pitch on this deuce resto-rod pickup. A dual chromed bar front bumper has been shaved off and now small square signal lights lead the way and highlights the beautifully curvaceous front fiberglass fenders that flank the long vertical vented cowled hood. A body matching radiator surround bathed in metallic blue is fronted by a vertical stainless ribbed grille, and flanked by a chromed support bar that stretches across the grille and supports a single chromed headlight on either side. These fenders C curve up and around the front tires and wheels and mate with fiberglass running boards to aid you into getting inside with ease. Just above are the front hinged doors keeping within their original squared off design and have chromed round mirrors hanging off their tops. A rolled top steel bed, straighter than arrows, form the sides to the bed which is now lined on the inside with lightly stained and heavily varnish stained oak boards with chromed separators. Large chromed tractor trailer smoke stacks poke through the oak bed and rise to the sky on either side of the cab. In the center on the bed is a vintage Coca Cola cooler which houses the battery..nifty! On back, just below the white painted Ford badge gate, are horizontally frenched LED tail lights within a straight roll pan on back. For the front corners, 14-inch American Racing Torque Thrust shiny wheels are wrapped in 195/70R14's and in back larger 15-inch Torque Thrusts are wrapped by 225/70R15's rubber.

Interior
As we swing the doors to explore the interior we are greeted with perfect blue upper vinyl covers with styled actuators and cranks in polished chrome. Just below is a gray tuck and roll vertical vinyl panel, and another thin strip of the light blue before turning to dark gray carpeting for the lowers. Inside a like new bench is installed with shiny smooth dark blue bolster and slightly darker gray tuck and roll inserts. A large aluminum box supports the tilt steering column, and a snappy blue steering wheel ion on the end of the tilt column. The dash has been kept simple but effective in the blue metal and a stainless brushed central panel with instruments. All are AutoMeter vintage styled letters in white face form. Dark gray plush carpet floods the floors and seen in this field are custom chromed foot pedals, (I told you they left no stone unturned!). Also above is a vinyl shiny gray headliner.

Drivetrain
Within the engine bay is 350 ci V8 circa 1977. It has Summit racing cast iron heads, a new camshaft and lifters and an Edelbrock intake manifold with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. A TH350 3-speed automatic tranny is bolted on back and this goes with a Ford 9 inch rear axle to spin the rear biggies. Shorty headers and of course the dual stacks through the bed for the big exhale sans mufflers.

Undercarriage
Here we see a 1932 rolling chassis by Legend Motors-Downs Design and it is just beautifully appointed. The braking has new lines with A.N. fittings which clamp down on front wheel power disc brakes showing polished calipers. Chorme Mustang 2 front suspension is on and rear leaf springs are rust free with power drums on the back.

Drive-Ability
A driver for sure, literally a rolling work of art, and a head turner that they can hear you coming from a mile away! And they will assume a big rig is coming down the pike! Excellent handling, braking, acceleration and all functionality was working perfectly. I did not want to get out, it was that good.

Just a great overall presentation that was in the care of the consignors father, then his son, our consignor since 2009. Electric blue, plenty of chrome, new interior and some snappy mechanical upgrades and we are rollin' in style.
