Henry Ford saw great success in his early years with the Model T
and Model A, so the pressure was on in 1932 to lot lose that
momentum. Well he had no problem pulling that off with the Model B
and the Model 18 which introduced Ford's first V8 motor. The design
was supervised by Edsel Ford with his dad focusing on the Flathead
V8 power plant. These cars were popular new but their real
popularity revealed itself in later years with the Street Rodding
craze. These made the perfect base for customization and the
classic car culture flocked to the '32 Ford. They are so popular in
fact companies began making fiberglass versions to meet the demand.
This 1932 Ford Sedan is a steel car and has such a cool unique
style. It has all the classic old school features you want to see
in one of these cars. The body is painted in a beautiful gloss
Black paint with realistic Tru Flames running down each side, on
the cowl and on the front of the roof. It also has nice Red accents
throughout with pinstriping on the back, down the sides, on the
headlights, on the rear gas tank and of course the Red grill. The
glass on it is all good and the front windshield still pushes out
like it would have done originally. Another old school touch is up
front between the spreader bar is a Moon Eyes tank with knock off
style cap. The chrome rear taillights feature blue dots and are
mounted next to custom chrome bumperettes. The build on this thing
was very well done and it even has nerf bars in front of the rear
wheels for a unique look. The car rides on great looking Halibrand
wheels with knock off style center caps and it has a taller tire in
back for a slight rake.
It has a 4 piece louvered hood and underneath is a ZZ430 high
performance GM crate motor. It has nice chrome valve covers, a
chrome alternator, custom chrome air cleaner, MSD distributor,
Edelbrock oil pump, Weber 4 barrel carburetor, Cool Flex hoses and
guess what else? A chrome AC compressor! Most street rods from this
vintage don't get the AC treatment so that is nice to see in place.
The motor runs great, sounds great with Sanderson headers into
custom Hushpower mufflers and has plenty of power. It has a 700R
automatic transmission that shifts smoothly and transfers power
back to the Currie rear end. Other nice features include the
Superbell dropped I beam front axle, front disc brakes, Pete &
Jakes front shocks, adjustable coil overs in rear, and a Mullins
steering box.
The inside of the car is very nicely finished out and incorporates
more of the Red accenting. The upholstery is done in the tuck and
roll style and it has a nice split front bench seat with racing
style lap belts and a full rear bench seat. It has nice Red
carpeting and the Lokar shifter is mounted to the floor in a Red
boot. The dash is nicely painted Black and is fitted with Stewart
Warner gauges in a finned Champion bezel that incorporates LED
indicator lights. It also has round adjustable vents for the AC
system that blows cold. The chrome column uses a connecting rod as
a drop down and is topped off with a 4 spoke steering wheel that
has a very cool hotrod emblem in the center. Under the dash there
are various switches which control the horn, lights, etc.
This is a really neat car that has a ton of top of the line
features. It is very unique and a street rod you are definitely
going to want to show off.
This awesome build is offered up for $59,000.00!
