1932 Ford Roadster

This 1932 Ford Roadster is a custom-built two-door with a Brookville steel body, wire wheels, disc front brakes, and an Edelbrock-upgraded 350ci Chevrolet V8 coupled with a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9-inch positraction rear end. It has accrued approximately 5,000 miles since completion and features chrome brightwork, a coilover suspension, and a dual exhaust system. Finished in Dark Green Metallic with a tan soft top over a cream leather interior, this Roadster is now offered with a clear Illinois title.

This 1932 Roadster has a steel reproduction body sourced from Brookville Roadster in Ohio, a specialty facility which has specialized in model year 1928 through 1932 roadsters, coupes, and pickups since the early 1970s. The two-door body was coated in a Cadillac-sourced shade of Dark Green Metallic and features full fenders, running boards, and chrome brightwork. An accenting tan cloth top covers the cabin. Additional equipment includes side mirrors, a luggage rack, and a stainless steel dual exhaust system.

Chrome-finished wire wheels are set inside of Diamondback whitewall tires. This roadster rides on a boxed frame with chrome front shock absorbers along with a transverse leaf spring. At the back, the car uses chrome link arms and coilover shock absorbers in a multi-link arrangement. Braking comes from discs up front and drums at the rear.

The two-seat interior features a bench seat reupholstered in tan leather from Wise Guys, color-keyed to the door panels and steering wheel. Amenities include cruise control, a Flaming River tilt-adjustable steering column, an Autosound stereo with a CD changer, and a compact heater.

Instrumentation is mounted in a bright bezel in the middle of the dashboard and consists of a 120-mph Haneline speedometer, a 7K-rpm tachometer, and accompanying Autometer gauges for the voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer reads 5K miles, which reflects mileage completed since the completion of the build.

The Chevrolet Fast Burn 350ci V8 crate engine has been upgraded with an Edelbrock carburetor, Street Performance headers, a ceramic-coated intake manifold, a Walker radiator with a billet overflow tank, and chrome-finished valve covers. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a column-shifted 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9-inch positraction rear end.

The chassis has been powder-coated green.
