Ford Roadster 351 Windsor 1932
General description :
1932 Ford Roadster The Model B was Ford's successful follow up to the Model A but it really cemented itself in the car community as the basis from which many Hot Rods have been made. You really can't talk classic cars without mentioning the '32 Ford. They had a variety of body styles and were the perfect base for customization. This was Ford's first all steel reinforced body and also the first to integrate the frame rails into the overall design. This cool Deuce features an all steel Rod Bods Downunder body which is a company out of Australia. The car is painted in a very nice Seafoam Green which is a very classy vintage color that changes between Green and Blue shades depending on the lighting. The steel 4 piece hood features 25 full length louvers and the body also incorporates stock looking features like the exposed external door hinges. It has however been kept clean of any major trim except for the center piece running down the hood. It has a nice chrome rear spreader in both front and rear between the painted to match chassis. It has nice 7 inch guide style chrome headlights up front and 1950 Pontiac style taillights in back. All of the exterior electrical is working properly. The car rides on a set of Rocket Racing Igniter wheels with knock off style center caps and Firestone tires. You see a lot of these cars that are Chevy powered so it is very cool to lift open the hood and see a 351 Ford Windsor motor sitting in place. The motor is fitted with nice finned valve covers, a finned air cleaner, and a Holley 4 barrel carburetor. A lot of the engine components have been painted to match the body which create a very clean cohesive look. It is paired with a C4 automatic transmission that transfers power back to the Ford 8 inch rear end with Moser axles. Underneath the car you will find many features like even the rear end are painted well. Other nice mechanical features include the 14 gallon fuel tank, 4 inch dropped front axle with hairpins, and the split wishbone/buggy spring rear suspension. The interior is very well done with custom Tan distressed leather. It features old school diamond tuck throughout and looks really good. A Lokar push button shifter is routed through the floor and moves through the gears with ease. In front of the driver sits a Limeworks steering column topped off with a leather wrapped Lecarra banjo steering wheel. The nicely painted dash features very cool pinstriping with Classic Industries gauges mounted in a custom bezel. The trunk is all nicely upholstered as well and is where you will find the fuel filler. The car comes with a tan canvas removable hardtop that has an opening glass rear window. This is a very clean Roadster that runs great and shows very well. Add it to your collection for $69,500.00!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
