Vehicle Description
This classic 1938 Ford Tudor Sedan is a classic hot rod that you're
going to love to show off. It's such a custom build that even the
chassis has been two-toned in orange and cream. And just like the
best hot rods out there, this stunner was crafted to be a powerful
driver, too.
This '38 Ford is one of the sleekest pre-war designs going, and
this one decided to turn it up a notch. You can tell that
immediately from its first impression. We all love the way the
upper grille slats run along the hood like a bird spreading its
wings. On this one, some brightwork is removed for a modern
appearance that better showcases this feature. The custom running
boards hug the body nicely, and the side mirrors are a modern
wind-cheating design. It all ends in a beautifully rounded rear
with an integrated third brake light and a frenched in license
plate. This car gets away with such a sleek appearance because the
two-tone orange and cream both have a smooth luster to make the
light flow over each panel. Of course this is a true American hot
rod, so it doesn't completely miss out on brightwork. You still get
plenty of shine out of the bumpers, door handles, and exhaust tips.
Plus, everyone will gravitate to the details in the 17-inch Billet
Specialties alloys.
Open the doors of this killer classic and you'll find a custom
interior that combines the bold exterior orange paint with tasteful
tan upholstery. The front buckets are far more modern than anything
out of the '30s, so they have nice bolstering for all-day comfort.
The door panels, headliner, shift boot, steering wheel wrap, and
dash all match this color for a true uniform build. This classic
has plenty of modern conveniences such as an AM/FM/CD stereo and
provisions for air conditioning. Just like the best customs out
there, the driver gets a cool steering wheel that nicely matches
the pattern from the alloys, and adds cool etched flames in the
center. But this intricate design doesn't get in the way of viewing
the full set of VDO gauges.
Grab your sunglasses before popping the hood. This V8 is show-ready
with the air topper, valve covers, alternator, and so many more
polished components. Underneath all the shiny elements is the
stability of a small-block 350 cubic-inch V8. We don't mind a Ford
running Chevy power when it's this legendary unit that's known for
reliability, power, and a huge list of performance upgrades. In
fact, this one already has a four-barrel carburetor and a custom
dual exhaust with a throaty rumble. But more than just listen to
the pipes roar; you should follow their path in the undercarriage
photos. There you'll also see a great mix of orange, cream, and
brightwork that perfectly matches the body color scheme. So when
you realize the kind of planning it took to get this level of
detail on a place hardly anyone ever sees, you fully understand the
total quality of this build. But more than just look good, this was
upgraded to be great on the road, too. The Mustang II-style
independent front suspension with power steering, a three-speed
automatic transmission, and front power disc brakes all come
together to make a great anytime classic.
This is the kind of complete build that will be having you carrying
mirrors to the car show so that you can showcase every inch. But
the only way to turn heads this weekend is if you call today!
