In a world that is full of contrasting opinions regarding just
about everything, it is amazing when even a few of us can come
together to agree on anything. Religion, politics, sports teams,
streaming networks... there's no point even trying to change
someone's mind. But, once in a while, something comes along that
almost no one can disagree with. One of those things is this 1932
Ford 5-Window Coupe, which is the original, quintessential hot
rod.
Based on John Miner's historically memorable American Graffiti
coupe, this car was made to be an even better cruiser than the car
it was modeled after. The Downs fiberglass body was fully repainted
in what we can only call "Graffiti Yellow," complemented by a
tastefully done grey and white interior. Comfy bucket seats, a tilt
steering wheel, and provisions for air-conditioning give this car
staying power even on the longest of road trips.
Pop open the steel engine side panels to reveal a 5.7-liter small
block Chevy V-8. An Edelbrock aluminum intake and matching
Edelbrock four-barrel carb send power into the block and out
through a set of shorty-style headers. That power then gets
channeled through a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission and out
to a nine-inch Ford Positraction rear end.
The solid axle front-end suspension works in conjunction with a
four-link adjustable coil-over in the rear and a reinforced chassis
to give this '32 Ford a solid feeling ride over any road.
Fifteen-inch American Racing rims sit shod in true hot rod fashion,
with skinny 165/60R-15 rubber up front while big 275-60R-15s sit
out back. Hidden behind those great-looking wheels are a set of
power disc brakes up front and power drums at the rear.
