This 1931 Vicky is a true hot rodder's hot rod! From the hot rod black satin paint, to the nicely warmed over flat head V8, manual transmission, steely wheels and wide whites. Not only is this '31 sedan a classic hot rod in the truest sense of the term, but this particular car has actually been driven several times from here in Oregon to Bakersfield, California to the Hot Rod Nationals without incident. This well built flat head will not overheat even idling along in the blazing summer heat. To give this 31 a little extra driving advantage, its equipped with a well functioning heater in addition to that overdrive Trans. All of the vintage looking white face gauges work excellently and this Vicky is easy to steer and stop! All of the window glass is nice with no cracks, and they roll up and down easily too. There's even an electric windshield wiper in the event you should get caught in the rain, which could happen because you'll want to drive this '31 all of the time.
The body is all Henry Ford steel sitting on a custom '32 frame with tubular cross member and chassis supports. So, along with the 19,066 miles on the actual build, you can surmise that this car is certainly driven. But that is exactly what it was built for. In other words, it wasn’t built to be trailered around to shows, nor was it built to be strictly a fair-weather cruiser. This Vicky was built for the purpose of driving - anytime you want. Ya gotta love that! If you're considering a vintage hot rod that speaks to the very core of our hobby, or maybe you want a vintage car that you can just drive and not worry about no matter how far you choose to go, take a good look at this '31 Victoria. You won't be disappointed.
