This 1938 Ford Tudor custom sedan is powered by a rebuilt
late-model Ford 53AB Flathead V8 engine featuring high-compression
heads, a three-quarter race cam and an Edmonds intake. Supporting
components include an electric fuel pump, new aluminum radiator and
custom exhaust system. Power is delivered through a 5-speed manual
transmission. The car began with an all-steel body that underwent a
restoration and extensive customization. The headlights, taillights
and antenna were frenched and tunneled into the body, and the drip
rails were removed for a smooth, seamless appearance. The original
porcelain Ford logo was frenched into the front of the hood, while
a custom Ford oval third brake light were added above the trunk
lid. The door hinges were flipped and hidden, the front fenders and
lower grille were crafted into one piece, and the top of the grille
and side panels were formed as a single unit. Rear fenders were
blended into the body, and the exterior was finished in Ford Candy
Apple Red. Inside, the custom dash was built from the original and
integrated into the doors. The car features a completely new custom
interior, all-new glass and power windows. **TITLED AS 1938 FORD
