Ford Roadster 60V Flathead V8 1932
General description :
This fun sized roadster is only ¾ the size of its original big brother and still features a flat head V8! With only 340 miles on the build, this stunning 1932 Ford Roadster runs and drives excellent and is a blast to drive with a 5-speed manual transmission. 1932 was the very first year that Ford unveiled the flat head V8 which became popular with hot rodders over the years and was consistently being modified to eke out the maximum amount of power possible. Although the flatheads weren’t producing enormous amounts of power, putting one in a stripped down roadster was plenty fast! This street legal roadster is ¾ scale from the original and is a complete fiberglass body. The weight was substantially cut down because of this making it even sportier than ever before! As walk up, open the door, and slide in you start to grasp the size difference between this and the original. It feels a bit like a T-bucket with the same classic looks as the normal roadsters. Turn the key and fire up the V8 and the indisputable sound of a flat head engine exits the rear of the car. When you ease off the clutch, you will be blown away by how quick this car is even with just a little throttle. The shifter is low and has short throws, but is crisp and is simple to use. This would be a great cruiser for someone looking for a toy to enjoy around town or take for cruise down some back roads! This vehicle is located in our Dallas showroom.

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.
