Want a super cool cruiser that's ready to roll? How about one with
some of the best vintage styling ever draped over two doors and
four tires? If the answer is a resounding "YES", this 1937 Ford
Coupe is exactly the car you've been searching for! With proven
Ford power, a smooth automatic transmission and stunning
aesthetics, this custom is an ideal classic for anyone who enjoys
exploring the open road. If you're looking to add a little spice to
your weekend routine, here's the perfect way to take Sunday drives
to a whole new level!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Despite a steel-like first impression, the car's 2004 body is
high-quality fiberglass supplied by Downs Industries. It takes all
the proportions of a '37 Ford coupe and adds traditional
modifications, like a 3-inch chop, to achieve a classic street rod
look. That rigid shell wears a sleek combination of burgundy and
black 2-stage that's divided by silver pinstriping. Aesthetic
enhancements begin with flowing fenders, which center a streamlined
grille between Ford-branded headlamps. Behind that grille, a
forward-tilt hood fronts a smoked greenhouse, which reflects a
polished driver's mirror. Below that mirror, shaved doors melt in
to painted running boards. And behind those boards, a shaved,
electronic decklid reflects a custom fuel filler and smooth LED
tail lamps.
ENGINE
Between the frame rails, a fuel injected 351 provides plenty of
reliable motivation. At the top of that familiar Ford mill, a
custom shroud shades a lightweight Edelbrock intake. At the sides
of that intake, cast iron heads cap bored and stroked internals
that up displacement to a whopping 418 cubic inches. At the front
of those cubes, an aftermarket distributor sequences spark between
an MSD Blaster EFI coil and loomed MSD Super Conductor plug wires.
Below those wires, coated block hugger headers make quick work of
spent gases. At the front of those tubes, polished pulleys spin a
polished alternator opposite a polished AC compressor. In front of
that compressor, an efficient aluminum radiator fronts a big
electric puller fan. And top-notch detailing abounds, with
color-keyed valve covers and a polished breather complementing
trick dipsticks and a Lokar throttle linkage.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Bottom-side, this Ford's fully finished body rides on a tough Downs
chassis that's been assembled to exacting standards. The proven
small block torques a 3-speed automatic transmission, which spins a
Ford 9-inch axle. That sorted drivetrain pushes a fully independent
front-half opposite a triangulated rear-half. Turns come courtesy
of Sweet Mfg. rack-and-pinion steering. At the corners of that
bagged skeleton, polished, power-assisted calipers squeeze drilled
and slotted discs. At the center of the floor, 2.5-inch true-dual
pipes breathe through polished glasspack-style mufflers. Under the
fenders, polished Boyd Coddington wheels turn 215/45ZR17 Falken
Azenis in front of 255/45ZR18 Falken Azenis. And everything, from
the car's deep-sump oil pan to its stainless fuel tank, is well
planned, well executed and ready to work its magic!
INTERIOR
Pop this coupe's lightweight doors and you'll find a custom leather
interior that seems like a great place to pound some pavement. At
the center of that cockpit, a full-length console hides controls
for air ride, controls for air conditioning and buttons for four
power windows in front of a simple shifter and 2-tone seats. In
front of those thrones, a pinstriped dash seats a full array of
digital telemetry above billet foot pedals. And in front of the
driver, a polished Krist Kustoms steering wheel spins a
half-wrapped rim around a polished, tilting column.
