1932 Ford Victoria Custom Additional Info:

The 1932 Ford Victoria--affectionately known as the "Vicky"--is the aristocrat of the Deuce lineup. While the roadsters and coupes were often stripped down for raw speed, the Victoria was designed with a pillarless sophistication and a unique bustle-back profile that set it apart as a machine of elegance. It is one of the most coveted silhouettes in street rodding, but finding a genuine example is becoming increasingly difficult. This car is the "Holy Grail" for the discerning collector: it is constructed from all-original Henry Ford steel. It is not a reproduction; it is a piece of American history, refined and perfected by some of the industry's most respected craftsmen. The cocktail gets more potent when you examine the drivetrain, which was engineered specifically for reliability and long-distance touring. Power is provided by a 327-cubic-inch Chevrolet V-8, bored .030 over and running a crisp 10:1 compression ratio. This

The cocktail gets more potent when you examine the drivetrain, which was engineered specifically for reliability and long-distance touring. Power is provided by a 327-cubic-inch Chevrolet V-8, bored .030 over and running a crisp 10:1 compression ratio. This quintessential hot rod engine is mated to a Turbo-Hydramatic 350 automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end. Crucially, the differential is fitted with 3.08 gears, a ratio selected to allow this Vicky to cruise effortlessly at highway speeds without straining the engine. Cooling is managed by a 180-degree thermostat, ensuring composure even during summer drives. The example offered here is a rolling masterclass in body modification and paint. The bodywork features extensive customization, including a flush-mounted windshield, a filled roof, hidden door hinges, a hidden gas filler, and a frenched license plate--all designed to smooth the iconic lines. It was then finished in Porsche Guards Red by the renowned Boesch Hot Rod Concepts. The result is a finish that has garnered over 200 awards at local, regional, and national shows. Inside, the cabin is a testament to comfort, designed and installed by Doug "Stitch" Stinson at All American Upholstery. It features modern amenities hidden within a classic aesthetic, including Vintage Air A/C, power windows, tinted glass, a tilt steering column, and a CD changer. Access is granted via remote door poppers. This vehicle is not merely a show pony; it has been driven across the country, proving its road-worthiness in a way few show cars ever do. Featured in multiple publications and celebrated on the show circuit, this steel-bodied Vicky offers the rare duality of being a nationally recognized award winner that is also fully sorted for cross-country adventure.
