EXTERIOR - FEATURES

This all-steel 1932 Ford Roadster was modified in the 1960s by a custom shop in Massachusetts. The body was refinished in black, including the fenders. The seller states that there are spider cracks in the paint due to age and dent repair marks on the driver-side running board. Features include a chrome front spreader bar, a removed front bumper, a dropped chrome headlight bar, body-color headlight buckets with a sealed beam headlight upgrade, a four-piece hood, a cowl vent, and a tilt-out windshield. Additional features include rubber-covered running boards, a rumble seat, and a removed rear bumper. The seller will include a new fitted Sid Chavers BopTop folding black cloth convertible top with a glass rear window and a tan traditional 1960s era folding convertible top.
