There are traditional rods, here are rods that dare to be different, nd then there are the rods that combine familiar things in brand new ways to create something truly unique like this 1932 Ford roadster. Did I mention six-deuce Hemi power?If I showed you this color on a paint chart and told you that was the color I'd chosen for my roadster, ou'd tell me that I'm crazy. But look at how awesome this car looks now that it's done. Brilliant, ight? It almost seemed like a law that '32 Fords had to be black or red, ut if you show up in this one, ou will be The Man from the moment you arrive. Yes, t's fiberglass, ut it has been expertly prepped and finished, ith shaved door handles and hinges and a grille shell painted to match. You can forget about a hood, ut with that outrageous sextuplet of carbs, hy would you ever want to hide it? Out back, he traditional looks continue with '39 Ford teardrop taillights and an exposed gas tank, hile up front a V'd spreader bar takes on a very trick look by adopting an airfoil profile. Obviously someone was sweating the details when this one went together.The completely custom interior uses a fabricated bench seat to maximize legroom in the compact roadster body. Wrapped in blue leather, he pleated seats have a traditional look that dates back to the days when this car was new, ut the beautifully stitched door panels are quite modern. Dark blue carpets give the open car a finished, uxurious feel and help control heat, oo. The dash is a gorgeous engine-turned panel filled with Stewart Warner instruments, nd they didn't waste time with frivolous stuff like a radio or heater. More leather has been wrapped around the banjo-style wheel, hich lives atop a polished billet tilt column, o it's easy to get comfortable behind the wheel. The trunk is upholstered to match, nd part of this car's modern twist is the custom lift-off top, hich is pure roadster, ut looks ever so slightly different in profile thanks to the rounded side frame.Aside from a flathead, here's nothing more traditional in your hi-boy than a Chrysler 331 cubic inch Hemi. Topped by an outrageous induction system that incorporates SIX carburetors on a Weiand intake, t was the hottest engine on the street then and makes a big statement today. Everything was sanded, moothed, nd finished to accept a matching coat of light blue paint, nd anything that wasn't painted was polished or chromed. Think of how long it took to disassemble and paint all those carburetor bodies, nd note how glossy and smooth the engine castings are; there is A TON of work in this car. It also runs beautifully despite the exotic induction, nd has a wonderful Hemi soundtrack thanks to the ceramic-coated exhaust system. The frame is boxed for strength, he front suspension consists of a traditional I-beam axle, nd out back there's a Ford 9-inch hanging on ladder bars and coil-overs. Staggered Torque Thrusts achieve the traditional look using 195/60/15 front and 275/60/17 rear BFG radials.Gorgeous, ast, nd unique, HIS is what hot-rodding is all about. Next time you see a generic 350 Chevy with a 4-barrel, ou'll remember this car, nd if it isn't yours by then, ou'll probably regret it. Call today!
