1932 Ford Model 18 Tudor Sedan Street Rod

This Tudor sedan was spared from the scrap piles during the war and in the mid-1970s was given a custom build with design and elegance that is timeless. All original steel panels were kept with the car and painted a deep and lustrous black lacquer and feature subtle blue pinstriping along the beltline of the body. All seating surfaces as well as the door panels and headliner were restored with original style gray Mohair with the passenger front seat able to tilt forward and allow access to the spacious rear seat. Under the hood, a rebuilt 350-cid V-8, sourced from a contemporary Corvette, features a factory aluminum intake manifold with a Carter AFB four-barrel carburetor, backed up with a Turbo-Hydramatic 350 automatic transmission. A custom front suspension was designed and installed, and to the rear, a complete Jaguar independent rear suspension was installed which provides a smooth and comfortable ride with four-wheel disc brakes installed for safety and security. A set of Warrior Fluent radial 195/60R15 tires are up front with a pair of Michelin X P225/R75-15 tires to the rear, all mounted on steel wheels featuring vintage Ford hubcaps and trim rings which gives this sedan an awesome stance whether it is going down the road or sitting still. Showing just over 1,150 miles, which are believed to have been added since the build, this Ford has been well-maintained through the years as evidenced by a thick folder of receipts for parts and service, all of which is included with the car. Chrome work and trim present a deep reflective quality while all the glass, including the roll-down rear seat side windows, are clean and clear. A set of Stewart-Warner gauges are mounted in an engine-turned center cluster while a custom four-spoke steering wheel will make the driver of this car beam with pride. The original black lacquer does show some age-based flaws; however, it still presents quite well and deserves to be driven, shown, and enjoyed.
