In 1938, Ford produced only 7,174 Cabriolets, making this '38 Ford
a rare find. This particular example elevates the classic design
with its Harvest Moon paint, a color borrowed from Volkswagen's
palette. The sleek body lines flow from the iconic grille to the
curvaceous rear, showcasing mostly original Henry Ford steel, save
for the fiberglass rear fenders. Chrome accents punctuate the
exterior, while a burgundy cloth convertible top adds a nice
contrast. Riding on 15-inch wheels, this Ford cuts an impressive
figure on the road. The two-piece windshield maintains a vintage
touch, blending seamlessly with the more modern upgrades.
Inside, the burgundy vinyl interior beckons with a blend of vintage
charm and modern comfort. Bucket seats offer supportive seating,
while the floor-mounted shifter adds a sporty touch. The dash
houses Beede gauges, providing clear readouts of vital information.
An AM/FM single CD player, iPod compatible, supplies the tunes for
cruising. Air conditioning ensures comfort on even the hottest
days, making this Ford a true all-season ride.
Powering this classic is a robust 302 V8 engine, paired with a
smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic transmission. The engine bay
showcases a Holley carburetor atop an Edelbrock aluminum intake
manifold, flanked by Ford Racing valve covers. Shorty headers feed
into a dual exhaust system, producing a satisfying rumble. The
Heidts Mustang II front suspension and rear leaf springs with
shocks provide a comfortable ride, while power disc brakes up front
and power drums in the rear ensure confident stopping power.
