Ford Roadster ZZ4 350 CID V8 1937
General description :
This absolutely gorgeous custom built 1937 Ford Cabriolet street rod is proudly on display and for sale in our Louisville Showroom. Fresh off the ISCA show circuit this award winning ’37 Ford Cabriolet is simply drop dead gorgeous. Starting with a fresh fiberglass body from Wild Rod, which many consider to be one best fiberglass body’s produced; subtle changes were made before any color was ever applied. After all, to stand out, you gotta have subtle yet tasteful changes. A set of Prowler headlights in the front with tear drop tail lights and a 3rd brake light cut into the trunk lid have been added. The gorgeous two paint scheme is a color combination of Raisin Cane and Champagne Fizz. For the less initiated we’ll just call it Tan & Brown. To break the colors up and give it that little pizazz is a gold leaf stripe. Finishing off the look is a set of Chrome Ridler wheels. The fronts are 17 inch wheels wrapped in 225/45/17 BF Goodrich radials and the rears are 20 inch wheels wrapped in 295/45/20 BF Goodrich radials. Under the hood, the GM ZZ4 350 Crate just oozes with chrome. The potent small block Chevy has been mated with a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission for reliability and cruising efficiency. A Ford 9 inch rear end loaded with 3.52 gears gives this hot rod quick launches with bullet proof reliability. Inside this show winning Cabriolet, the interior is adorned with tan leather on the seats and door panels. The remainder of the interior is painted in the same color as the top of the Cabriolet. A full set of Autometer gauges keeps track of the important thing like, MHP, Engine RPM, and Oil pressure, Water Temperature, Fuel Level and Voltage. You will not only look cool when cruising the Street Rod Nationals in your new whip, but you will stay cool too, due to the Vintage AC system. Just hit the buttons on your power windows, crank up the AC and listen to your favorite tunes on the stereo. Personally, “Thunder” by AC/DC always soothes my nerves and gets me in the right mood. If you’re ready to step up to an award winning show car, then give us a call. All the blood, sweat and beers have already been poured into this one!

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.
