Ford Hi Boy Roadster 350 V8 1932

Allmän beskrivning : EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN! KILBOURNE BODY, PETE & JAKES CHASSIS, 350 V8, AUTO, 9" REAR

From the time they first gained popularity in the 1940's as the foundation for a new generation of street rods, the Ford Highboys (also referred to as the Deuce Coupe in reference to the "2" in 1932) became a rolling exemplification of what the pursuit was all about - take an already light vehicle and make it even lighter, then drop in a powerful engine capable of delivering "knock you back in your seat" performance and drop the pedal. But this 1932 Ford Highboy Roadster is more than that. This is an exceedingly well-built car, nostalgia-inducing for sure, but also exhibiting a great attention to detail that sets it apart, no matter the company it's in.
The exteriors of many street rods are often about visual pyrotechnics and we're certainly fans of well-executed creativity, but it's also nice to see a more understated, well-planned approach, such as what's on display here, especially considering the quality that's gone into it. That rich, deep shade you see adorning the renowned Kilbourne fiberglass body is known as Washington Blue and it's a great choice, with the matching heads and valve covers inside the open engine compartment, as well as the outer portions of the rims, making the paint scheme even more effective. The much sought-after light weight of the fiberglass body doesn't come at the expense of strength either - Kilbourne reinforces its work with square steel tubing, so it's sturdy, as well. The ornate front grilles on these '32s are definitely a focal point and the one here is a great specimen - it's an impressive expanse of chrome ribbing sitting under that signature Blue Oval badge on the hood.
Open one of the low-profile doors and you'll marvel at the workmanship on display with this interior. While custom interiors in vintage roadsters like this aren't terribly rare, you just don't come across one showing this level of quality very often. The tuck and roll saddle tan upholstery across the bench seat is not only well-fitted, but it also supports a very sharp, lightly distressed look and, in contrast to so many of its counterparts, is also well-padded and contoured for comfort. The same pattern lines the insides of the doors and the kick panels - still more well-executed details on a car full of them. Just beyond the Limeworks custom steering column and wheel, a set of white-faced Moon gauges resides inside a textured cluster on the dash, providing a great contrast to the surrounding blue metal. The trunk area in back will definitely capture your attention. Detailed to match the interior of the car, it has matching tan carpeting and a custom accessory box inside where the battery lies, a very nice touch!
Lest we not forget that street rodding is still very much about power, there's a Chevy 350 cubic inch V8 on full display within the open-sided engine compartment. Topped with an Edelbrock intake and carb, it's running great and sounding awesome - emitting a dominating exhaust note that stops well short of being "too much." This potent drivetrain sits on a foundation that's more than up to the task of handling all that power - a Pete and Jake's steel chassis also equipped with a Super Bell front end, coilover suspension and front disc brakes. This very well-built roadster sits on a set of Vintique wheels, and sports a pair of 5.50-16 front and massive 8.90-16 Firestone tires in back.

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
