That sculpted front grille sitting between a pair of flared,
tapered fenders. Those intricate engine vents. The husky form
culminating in an aggressively sloped deck lid. With so much
effortless style in one place, it's easy to see why this 1933 Ford
Cabriolet makes for such a compelling foundation to build on. This
is a great-looking cruiser, dressed in deep blue paint that holds a
nice shine. And, where some circa '30s projects put the emphasis
almost solely on aesthetics, this one features a collection of
mechanical upgrades that make it a fine driver as well. Because it
has only logged a little over 5,000 miles since being built, this
open-air Ford should be well-positioned to offer many future miles
of driving happiness.
There's a lot to like about the accompanying interior. With its tan
vinyl upholstery, tight, well-fitted door panels, and clean
contrasting carpeting, this is a really nice driving environment.
An aftermarket Budnik steering wheel sits on a tilt steering
column, allowing you to arrive at the perfect driving position, and
just in front of it, there's a collection of Auto Meter gauges
sitting inside a nicely contoured instrument panel. An Alpine
AM/FM/Cassette stereo sits at the center of the dash, teaming with
a CD changer mounted in the trunk, to provide you with plenty of
audio options. The removable cabriolet hardtop also makes this
vintage Ford a viable driving option in less forgiving weather, and
it fits nicely to keep the elements at bay.
Beneath that distinctive hood sits a 350 cubic-inch V8 engine. It's
fed by a 4-barrel Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold and
teams with a 3-speed automatic TH350 transmission that shifts well
to result in a powerful, yet reliable drivetrain. An HEI electronic
distributor supplies an enhanced, consistent spark while an
upgraded aluminum radiator sits at the front of the engine bay to
help keep operating temperatures under control. With all these
mechanical components functioning in top form, this classic Ford
starts promptly and accelerates smoothly. Power brakes that
position discs in front supply a level of reliable stopping ability
that comes in handy during frequent driving.
