Body ::
Steel ‘32 grille shell and polished insert surround are hiding a Griffin radiator. A four-blade fan shares cooling duties for this highboy.
Harwood 2” stretched body, 2” (angle) channel at windshield. The roadster didn’t travel far for its finish by Ryan Kayler of RJ’s body in Pleasanton, California. By the end of the 50’s, hot rodders were shooting other colors besides various dark colors and reds, gold was a good color choice to grab attention at shows or on the streets. Ryan handled the final bodywork and painted it in an attention getting, simple but timeless House of Kolor Solar Flop Gold. Hand pinstriped, by Dave Wyeth, in Rhinebeck, NY on the trunk, original ‘32 headlamps, grill and dash. The dash has also been signed by KevDogg, Charity and Dave Kindig of Kindigit Design.

Chassis Transmission and Rear ::

The mostly chromed, by Valley Plating, frontend components include a 4-inch drop I-beam in between ’37 Ford spindles and a split wishbone and a SO-CAL Speed Shop chrome front leaf spring. Chrome shocks and panhard bar are from Pete & Jake’s. The rest of the front end is polished stainless. Combined with the gold paint and the brightwork on the engine and wheels, the effect is impressive. The 11” Wilwood front disc brakes are concealed by polished SO-CAL’s “Buick finned Big Brake” disc covers and silver coated 11” Ford rear drums provide plenty of stopping power while maintaining the roadsters vintage look. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a built ‘66 GM Saginaw T-10 Four-Speed manual transmission, Hyes clutch and disc, topped by a gorgeous chrome factory NOS ‘66 Chevelle Hurst shifter equipped with a sliding pull up T-handle for Reverse Lock-Out.

Interior ::
The quality of the exterior carries over to the bare essential, super clean vintage cabin that still smells like new.

Strong money and time has been invested to create this timeless street rod that combines racing looks and show quality with a flare of the 1960’s. Located in a temperature controlled private garage in Saratoga Springs, New York and when it is not raining, we used to drive it after work, to dinner or cruise nights. Now it’s time for someone else to enjoy it. From top to bottom, this deuce is an exceptional condition. Never raced, never driven in rain or any bad weather and it has been well maintained, covered and cared for with frequent zinc oil changes and hand waxing. This 1932 Ford mid-60’s style hot rod is now offered with multiple magazines featuring the car and a clean transferable 1932 Ford NYS registration.
